Tooltip Coloring doesnot work

Question

I am newbie in c++ win32 Programming and I am using visual studio 2013 on Windows 7 X64 SP1.

I have used this code in link below to create tooltip for a button in DialogBox and successfully it worked.

Tooltip for button

but when I want to change the background color or foreground color , it does not work and it shows the default colors.

SendMessage(hwndTip, TTM_SETTIPBKCOLOR, 0xFF326FD8, 0);
//SendMessage(hwndTip, TTM_SETTIPBKCOLOR, (WPARAM)CreateSolidBrush(RGB(255,255, 255), 0);
SendMessage(hwndTip, TTM_SETTIPTEXTCOLOR, (WPARAM)CreateSolidBrush(RGB(255,255, 255)), 0);

Because in this link :

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb760411%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

the MSDN said that "When visual styles are enabled, this message has no effect." so I changed the

    HWND hwndTip = CreateWindowEx(NULL, TOOLTIPS_CLASS, NULL,
    WS_POPUP | TTS_ALWAYSTIP | TTS_BALLOON |TTS_USEVISUALSTYLE,
    CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT,
    CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT,
    hDlg, NULL,
    hInst, NULL);

to :

HWND hwndTip = CreateWindowEx(NULL, TOOLTIPS_CLASS, NULL,
    WS_POPUP | TTS_ALWAYSTIP | TTS_BALLOON,
    CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT,
    CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT,
    hDlg, NULL,
    hInst, NULL);

but without any success.

also I have used :

  #pragma comment(linker, \
  "\"/manifestdependency:type='Win32' "\
  "name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' "\
  "version='6.0.0.0' "\
  "processorArchitecture='*' "\
  "publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' "\
  "language='*'\"")

in my code so I removed it to see if tooltip coloring works but the tooltip did not appeared at all !

what is the problem ?

Thanks.

Update 1 :

Here is my full source code , hope to solve the problem :
