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.

33
34Constructor. The tip is shown immediately after the window is constructed.
35
36\wxheading{Parameters}
37
38\docparam{parent}{The parent window, must be non-\NULL}
39
40\docparam{text}{The text to show, may contain the new line characters}
41
42\docparam{maxLength}{The length of each line, in pixels. Set to a very large
43value to avoid wrapping lines}
44
45\docparam{windowPtr}{Simply passed to
46\helpref{SetTipWindowPtr}{wxtipwindowsettipwindowptr} below, please see its
47documentation for the description of this parameter}
48
49\docparam{rectBounds}{If non-\NULL, passed to
50\helpref{SetBoundingRect}{wxtipwindowsetboundingrect} below, please see its
51documentation for the description of this parameter}

57\func{void}{SetTipWindowPtr}{\param{wxTipWindow** }{windowPtr}}
58
59When the tip window closes itself (which may happen at any moment and
60unexpectedly to the caller) it may \NULL out the pointer pointed to by
61\arg{it windowPtr}. This is helpful to avoid dereferencing the tip window which
62had been already closed and deleted.

67
68\func{void}{SetBoundingRect}{\param{const wxRect\& }{rectBound}}
69
70By default, the tip window disappears when the user clicks the mouse or presses
71a keyboard key or if it loses focus in any other way - for example because the
72user switched to another application window.
73
74Additionally, if a non-empty \arg{rectBound} is provided, the tip window will
75also automatically close if the mouse leaves this area. This is useful to
76dismiss the tip mouse when the mouse leaves the object it is associated with.
77
78\wxheading{Parameters}
79
80\docparam{rectBound}{The bounding rectangle for the mouse in the screen coordinates}
