96// Special note about ShowHelpAtPoint() and ShowHelp(): we want to be able to
97// override ShowHelpAtPoint() when we need to use different help messages for
98// different parts of the window, but it should also be possible to override
99// just ShowHelp() both for backwards compatibility and just because most
100// often the help does not, in fact, depend on the position and so
101// implementing just ShowHelp() is simpler and more natural, so by default
102// ShowHelpAtPoint() forwards to ShowHelp(). But this means that
103// wxSimpleHelpProvider has to override ShowHelp() and not ShowHelpAtPoint()
104// for backwards compatibility as otherwise the existing code deriving from it
105// and overriding ShowHelp() but calling the base class version wouldn't work
106// any more, which forces us to use a rather ugly hack and pass the extra
107// parameters of ShowHelpAtPoint() to ShowHelp() via member variables.
