   IfWinNotActive, %TargetWin%

Thank you for the script. Is there a way to use the window handle (HWND) of each control rather than the ControlNN?

Solution:
Micahs's script is useful. Modified code below.

Code:

; requires getClassNN() from http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20099&highlight=classnn+hwnd
; Note:  ControlNN(variable_name_of control) does not work.

TargetWin = Test Window

Gui, Add, Button, x16 y17 w60 h30 HWNDbutton_hwnd, Button
Gui, Add, Checkbox, x16 y57 w70 h30, Checkbox example
Gui, Add, Edit, x116 y17 w140 h70 vedit_me, Edit
Gui, Show, x158 y318 h103 w269, %TargetWin%
SetTimer, Tip, 2000
Return

GuiClose:
ExitApp

Tip:
   IfWinNotActive, %TargetWin%
   {
     ToolTip
     Return
   }
   
   MouseGetPos,,,, ACtrl
   Tip =
   
   If (ACtrl == getClassNN(button_hwnd)) {
      Tip = Works using control's HWND
   }
   
   If (ACtrl == getClassNN("Checkbox example")) {
      Tip = Works using control's caption
   }
   
   If (ACtrl == "Edit1") {
      Tip = Works using control's ControlNN
   }
   
   If ACtrl <> %LastCtrl%
   {
     ToolTip, %Tip%
     LastCtrl = %ACtrl%
   }
Return
