10 @class wxTipWindow
11
12 Shows simple text in a popup tip window on creation. This is used by
13 wxSimpleHelpProvider to show popup help. The
14 window automatically destroys itself when the user clicks on it or it loses the
15 focus.
16
17 You may also use this class to emulate the tooltips when you need finer
18 control over them than what the standard tooltips provide.
