1 | \section{\class{wxContextHelp}}\label{wxcontexthelp} | |
2 | ||
3 | This class changes the cursor to a query and puts the application into a 'context-sensitive help mode'. | |
4 | When the user left-clicks on a window within the specified window, a wxEVT\_HELP event is | |
5 | sent to that control, and the application may respond to it by popping up some help. | |
6 | ||
7 | For example: | |
8 | ||
9 | \begin{verbatim} | |
10 | wxContextHelp contextHelp(myWindow); | |
11 | \end{verbatim} | |
12 | ||
13 | There are a couple of ways to invoke this behaviour implicitly: | |
14 | ||
15 | \begin{itemize} | |
16 | \item Use the wxDIALOG\_EX\_CONTEXTHELP style for a dialog (Windows only). This will put a question mark | |
17 | in the titlebar, and Windows will put the application into context-sensitive help mode automatically, | |
18 | with further programming. | |
19 | \item Create a \helpref{wxContextHelpButton}{wxcontexthelpbutton}, whose predefined behaviour is to create a context help object. | |
20 | Normally you will write your application so that this button is only added to a dialog for non-Windows platforms | |
21 | (use wxDIALOG\_EX\_CONTEXTHELP on Windows). | |
22 | \end{itemize} | |
23 | ||
24 | Note that on Mac OS X, the cursor does not change when in context-sensitive | |
25 | help mode. | |

45 | \func{}{wxContextHelp}{\param{wxWindow*}{ window = NULL}, \param{bool}{ doNow = true}} | |
46 | ||
47 | Constructs a context help object, calling \helpref{BeginContextHelp}{wxcontexthelpbegincontexthelp} if\rtfsp | |
48 | {\it doNow} is true (the default). | |
49 | ||
50 | If {\it window} is NULL, the top window is used. | |

52 | \membersection{wxContextHelp::\destruct{wxContextHelp}}\label{wxcontexthelpdtor} | |
53 | ||
54 | \func{}{\destruct{wxContextHelp}}{\void} | |
55 | ||
56 | Destroys the context help object. | |
57 | ||
58 | \membersection{wxContextHelp::BeginContextHelp}\label{wxcontexthelpbegincontexthelp} | |
59 | ||
60 | \func{bool}{BeginContextHelp}{\param{wxWindow*}{ window = NULL}} | |
61 | ||
62 | Puts the application into context-sensitive help mode. {\it window} is the window | |
63 | which will be used to catch events; if NULL, the top window will be used. | |
64 | ||
65 | Returns true if the application was successfully put into context-sensitive help mode. | |
66 | This function only returns when the event loop has finished. | |
67 | ||
68 | \membersection{wxContextHelp::EndContextHelp}\label{wxcontexthelpendcontexthelp} | |
69 | ||
70 | \func{bool}{EndContextHelp}{\void} | |
71 | ||
72 | Ends context-sensitive help mode. Not normally called by the application. | |
73 | ||
74 | \section{\class{wxContextHelpButton}}\label{wxcontexthelpbutton} | |
75 | ||
76 | Instances of this class may be used to add a question mark button that when pressed, puts the | |
77 | application into context-help mode. It does this by creating a \helpref{wxContextHelp}{wxcontexthelp} object which itself | |
78 | generates a wxEVT\_HELP event when the user clicks on a window. | |
79 | ||
80 | On Windows, you may add a question-mark icon to a dialog by use of the wxDIALOG\_EX\_CONTEXTHELP extra style, but | |
81 | on other platforms you will have to add a button explicitly, usually next to OK, Cancel or similar buttons. | |

106 | Default constructor. | |

114 | ||
115 | Constructor, creating and showing a context help button. | |
116 | ||
117 | \wxheading{Parameters} | |
118 | ||
119 | \docparam{parent}{Parent window. Must not be NULL.} | |
120 | ||
121 | \docparam{id}{Button identifier. Defaults to wxID\_CONTEXT\_HELP.} | |
122 | ||
123 | \docparam{pos}{Button position.} | |
124 | ||
125 | \docparam{size}{Button size. If the default size (-1, -1) is specified then the button is sized | |
126 | appropriately for the question mark bitmap.} | |
127 | ||
128 | \docparam{style}{Window style.} | |
129 | ||
130 | \wxheading{Remarks} | |
131 | ||
132 | Normally you need pass only the parent window to the constructor, and use the defaults for the remaining parameters. | |
