Why ToolTip's Title shows duplicate ?
Is there any solution to fix this problem ?

See About Tooltip Controls

There's an instance of the 'subtitle' for each registered control via TTM_ADDTOOL, but there's only one instance of the window title for the tip window itself, via TTM_SETTITLE. Each time you call AddTip you replace the title text overall. So you're seeing the title from the last call to AddTip made.

You could:
1) Use a generic title for the toolip such as "Information", you'll see that all the examples on learn.microsoft.com do something like this.
2) Create more than one tooltip window, each having a generic title for the subject item they tip. For example one for controls labelled "Control information", one for menu items or toolbar buttons labelled "Menu information"...
3) Create a separate tooltip window for each gadget you want to have a tip, this way they can all have their own title instance.
4) Intercept the TTN_SHOW or TTN_GETDISPINFO notifications in a window callback procedure, work out which tooltip subtitle message is about to be displayed and update the title each time the tip window is displayed.
