1\section{\class{wxHelpProvider}}\label{wxhelpprovider}
2
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().

33
34Virtual destructor for any base class.

38
39\func{void}{AddHelp}{\param{wxWindowBase* }{window}, \param{const wxString\& }{text}}
40
41Associates the text with the given window or id. Although all help
42providers have these functions to allow making \helpref{wxWindow::SetHelpText}{wxwindowsethelptext}
43work, not all of them implement the functions.
44
45
46\membersection{wxHelpProvider::Get}\label{wxhelpproviderget}
47
48\func{wxHelpProvider*}{Get}{\void}
49
50Unlike some other classes, the help provider is not created on demand.
51This must be explicitly done by the application.
52
53
54\membersection{wxHelpProvider::GetHelp}\label{wxhelpprovidergethelp}
55
56\func{wxString}{GetHelp}{\param{const wxWindowBase* }{window}}
57
58Gets the help string for this window. Its interpretation is dependent on the help provider
59except that empty string always means that no help is associated with
60the window.
61
62\func{void}{AddHelp}{\param{wxWindowID }{id}, \param{const wxString\& }{text}}
63
64This version associates the given text with all windows with this id.
65May be used to set the same help string for all Cancel buttons in
66the application, for example.
67
68
69\membersection{wxHelpProvider::RemoveHelp}\label{wxhelpproviderremovehelp}
70
71\func{void}{RemoveHelp}{\param{wxWindowBase* }{window}}
72
73Removes the association between the window pointer and the help text. This is
74called by the wxWindow destructor. Without this, the table of help strings will fill up
75and when window pointers are reused, the wrong help string will be found.
76
77
78\membersection{wxHelpProvider::Set}\label{wxhelpproviderset}
79
80\func{wxHelpProvider*}{Set}{\param{wxHelpProvider* }{helpProvider}}
81
82Get/set the current, application-wide help provider. Returns
83the previous one.
84
85
86\membersection{wxHelpProvider::ShowHelpAtPoint}\label{wxhelpprovidershowhelpatpoint}
87
88\func{bool}{ShowHelpAtPoint}{\param{wxWindowBase* }{window}, \param{const wxPoint & }{point}, \param{wxHelpEvent::Origin }{origin}}
89
90This function may be overridden to show help for the window when it should
91depend on the position inside the window, By default this method forwards to
92\helpref{ShowHelp}{wxhelpprovidershowhelp}, so it is enough to only implement
93the latter if the help doesn't depend on the position.
94
95Returns \true if help was shown, or \false if no help was available for this
96window.

109\membersection{wxHelpProvider::ShowHelp}\label{wxhelpprovidershowhelp}
110
111\func{bool}{ShowHelp}{\param{wxWindowBase* }{window}}
112
113Shows help for the given window. Override this function if the help doesn't
114depend on the exact position inside the window, otherwise you need to override
115\helpref{ShowHelpAtPoint}{wxhelpprovidershowhelpatpoint}.
116
117Returns \true if help was shown, or \false if no help was available for this
118window.
