DocStr(wxHelpEvent,
"A help event is sent when the user has requested context-sensitive
help. This can either be caused by the application requesting
context-sensitive help mode via wx.ContextHelp, or (on MS Windows) by
the system generating a WM_HELP message when the user pressed F1 or
clicked on the query button in a dialog caption.

A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is
propagated up the window hierarchy until the event is processed or
there are no more event handlers. The application should call
event.GetId to check the identity of the clicked-on window, and then
either show some suitable help or call event.Skip if the identifier is
unrecognised. Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWindows to
generate further events for ancestors of the clicked-on
window. Otherwise it would be impossible to show help for container
windows, since processing would stop after the first window found.",

"This class changes the cursor to a query and puts the application into
a 'context-sensitive help mode'. When the user left-clicks on a window
within the specified window, a ``EVT_HELP`` event is sent to that
control, and the application may respond to it by popping up some
help.

There are a couple of ways to invoke this behaviour implicitly:

    * Use the wx.WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP extended style for a dialog or frame
      (Windows only). This will put a question mark in the titlebar,
      and Windows will put the application into context-sensitive help
      mode automatically, with further programming.

    * Create a `wx.ContextHelpButton`, whose predefined behaviour is
      to create a context help object. Normally you will write your
      application so that this button is only added to a dialog for
      non-Windows platforms (use ``wx.WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP`` on
      Windows).
