97// Special note about ShowHelpAtPoint() and ShowHelp(): we want to be able to

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