3wxHelpProvider is an abstract class used by a program implementing context-sensitive help to
4show the help text for the given window.
5
6The current help provider must be explicitly set by the application using
7wxHelpProvider::Set().

26
27\func{}{\destruct{wxHelpProvider}}{\void}
28
29Virtual destructor for any base class.

31\membersection{wxHelpProvider::AddHelp}\label{wxhelpprovideraddhelp}
32
33\func{void}{AddHelp}{\param{wxWindowBase* }{window}, \param{const wxString\& }{text}}
34
35Associates the text with the given window or id. Although all help
36providers have these functions to allow making \helpref{wxWindow::SetHelpText}{wxwindowsethelptext}
37work, not all of them implement the functions.
38
39\membersection{wxHelpProvider::Get}\label{wxhelpproviderget}
40
41\func{wxHelpProvider*}{Get}{\void}
42
43Unlike some other classes, the help provider is not created on demand.
44This must be explicitly done by the application.
45
46\membersection{wxHelpProvider::GetHelp}\label{wxhelpprovidergethelp}
47
48\func{wxString}{GetHelp}{\param{const wxWindowBase* }{window}}
49
50Gets the help string for this window. Its interpretation is dependent on the help provider
51except that empty string always means that no help is associated with
52the window.
53
54\func{void}{AddHelp}{\param{wxWindowID }{id}, \param{const wxString\& }{text}}
55
56This version associates the given text with all windows with this id.
57May be used to set the same help string for all Cancel buttons in
58the application, for example.
59
60\membersection{wxHelpProvider::RemoveHelp}\label{wxhelpproviderremovehelp}
61
62\func{void}{RemoveHelp}{\param{wxWindowBase* }{window}}
63
64Removes the association between the window pointer and the help text. This is
65called by the wxWindow destructor. Without this, the table of help strings will fill up
66and when window pointers are reused, the wrong help string will be found.
67
68\membersection{wxHelpProvider::Set}\label{wxhelpproviderset}
69
70\func{wxHelpProvider*}{Set}{\param{wxHelpProvider* }{helpProvider}}
71
72Get/set the current, application-wide help provider. Returns
73the previous one.
74
75\membersection{wxHelpProvider::ShowHelp}\label{wxhelpprovidershowhelp}
76
77\func{bool}{ShowHelp}{\param{wxWindowBase* }{window}}
78
79Shows help for the given window. Uses \helpref{GetHelp}{wxhelpprovidergethelp} internally if
80applicable.
81
82Returns true if it was done, or false if no help was available
83for this window.
