    [Flags]
    public enum QITIPF
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// No special handling.
        /// </summary>
        QITIPF_DEFAULT = 0x00000000,

        /// <summary>
        /// Provide the name of the item in ppwszTip rather than the info tip text.
        /// </summary>
        QITIPF_USENAME = 0x00000001,

        /// <summary>
        /// If the item is a shortcut, retrieve the info tip text of the shortcut rather than its target.
