You need to override the CExtControlBar::OnAdvancedPopupMenuTipWndDisplay() method in this way:

void CYourToolbar::OnAdvancedPopupMenuTipWndDisplay(

            CExtPopupMenuTipWnd & _ATTW,

            const RECT & rcExcludeArea,

            __EXT_MFC_SAFE_LPCTSTR strTipText

            ) const

{

            ASSERT_VALID( this );

            ASSERT( strTipText != NULL && _tcslen( strTipText ) > 0 );

            _ATTW.SetTipStyle( CExtPopupMenuTipWnd::__ETS_BALLOON );

            _ATTW.SetText( strTipText );

            _ATTW.Show( (CWnd*)this, rcExcludeArea );

}
