1\section{\class{wxTipWindow}}\label{wxtipwindow}
2
3Shows simple text in a popup tip window on creation. This is used by
4\helpref{wxSimpleHelpProvider}{wxsimplehelpprovider} to show popup help. The
5window automatically destroys itself when the user clicks on it or it loses the
6focus.
7
8You may also use this class to emulate the tooltips when you need finer
9control over them than what the standard tooltips provide.

30Constructor. The tip is shown immediately after the window is constructed.
31
32\wxheading{Parameters}
33
34\docparam{parent}{The parent window, must be non-\NULL}
35
36\docparam{text}{The text to show, may contain the new line characters}
37
38\docparam{maxLength}{The length of each line, in pixels. Set to a very large
39value to avoid wrapping lines}
40
41\docparam{windowPtr}{Simply passed to
42\helpref{SetTipWindowPtr}{wxtipwindowsettipwindowptr} below, please see its
43documentation for the description of this parameter}
44
45\docparam{rectBounds}{If non-\NULL, passed to
46\helpref{SetBoundingRect}{wxtipwindowsetboundingrect} below, please see its
47documentation for the description of this parameter}

53\func{void}{SetTipWindowPtr}{\param{wxTipWindow** }{windowPtr}}
54
55When the tip window closes itself (which may happen at any moment and
56unexpectedly to the caller) it may \NULL out the pointer pointed to by
57\arg{it windowPtr}. This is helpful to avoid dereferencing the tip window which
58had been already closed and deleted.

62\membersection{wxTipWindow::SetBoundingRect}\label{wxtipwindowsetboundingrect}
63
64\func{void}{SetBoundingRect}{\param{const wxRect\& }{rectBound}}
65
66By default, the tip window disappears when the user clicks the mouse or presses
67a keyboard key or if it loses focus in any other way - for example because the
68user switched to another application window.
69
70Additionally, if a non-empty \arg{rectBound} is provided, the tip window will
71also automatically close if the mouse leaves this area. This is useful to
72dismiss the tip mouse when the mouse leaves the object it is associated with.
73
74\wxheading{Parameters}
75
76\docparam{rectBound}{The bounding rectangle for the mouse in the screen coordinates}
