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.

29Constructor. The tip is shown immediately the window is constructed.

31\wxheading{Parameters}
32
33\docparam{parent}{The parent window, must be non {\tt NULL}}
34
35\docparam{text}{The text to show, may contain the new line characters}
36
37\docparam{windowPtr}{Simply passed to
38\helpref{SetTipWindowPtr}{wxtipwindowsettipwindowptr} below, please see its
39documentation for the description of this parameter}
40
41\docparam{rectBounds}{If non {\tt NULL}, passed to
42\helpref{SetBoundingRect}{wxtipwindowsetboundingrect} below, please see its
43documentation for the description of this parameter}

47
48\func{void}{SetTipWindowPtr}{\param{wxTipWindow** }{windowPtr}}
49
50When the tip window closes itself (which may happen at any moment and
51unexpectedly to the caller) it may {\tt NULL} out the pointer pointed to by
52{\it windowPtr}. This is helpful to avoid dereferencing the tip window which
53had been already closed and deleted.

56\membersection{wxTipWindow::SetBoundingRect}\label{wxtipwindowsetboundingrect}
57
58\func{void}{SetBoundingRect}{\param{const wxRect\& }{rectBound}}
59
60By default, the tip window disappears when the user clicks the mouse or presses
61a keyboard key or if it loses focus in any other way - for example because the
62user switched to another application window.
63
64Additionally, if a non empty {\it rectBound} is provided, the tip window will
65also automatically close if the mouse leaves this area. This is useful to
66dismiss the tip mouse when the mouse leaves the object it is associated with.

68\wxheading{Parameters}
69
70\docparam{rectBound}{The bounding rectangle for the mouse in the screen coordinates}
