   1 \section{\class{wxTipWindow}}\label{wxtipwindow}
   2
   3 Shows simple text in a popup tip window on creation. This is used by
   4 \helpref{wxSimpleHelpProvider}{wxsimplehelpprovider} to show popup help. The
   5 window automatically destroys itself when the user clicks on it or it loses the
   6 focus.
   7
   8 You may also use this class to emulate the tooltips when you need finer
   9 control over them than what the standard tooltips provide.

  28
  29 Constructor. 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
  39 documentation for the description of this parameter}
  40
  41 \docparam{rectBounds}{If non-{\tt NULL}, passed to
  42 \helpref{SetBoundingRect}{wxtipwindowsetboundingrect} below, please see its
  43 documentation for the description of this parameter}

  46 \membersection{wxTipWindow::SetTipWindowPtr}\label{wxtipwindowsettipwindowptr}
  47
  48 \func{void}{SetTipWindowPtr}{\param{wxTipWindow** }{windowPtr}}
  49
  50 When the tip window closes itself (which may happen at any moment and
  51 unexpectedly 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
  53 had been already closed and deleted.

  56 \membersection{wxTipWindow::SetBoundingRect}\label{wxtipwindowsetboundingrect}
  57
  58 \func{void}{SetBoundingRect}{\param{const wxRect\& }{rectBound}}
  59
  60 By default, the tip window disappears when the user clicks the mouse or presses
  61 a keyboard key or if it loses focus in any other way - for example because the
  62 user switched to another application window.
  63
  64 Additionally, if a non-empty {\it rectBound} is provided, the tip window will
  65 also automatically close if the mouse leaves this area. This is useful to
  66 dismiss the tip mouse when the mouse leaves the object it is associated with.
  67
  68 \wxheading{Parameters}
  69
  70 \docparam{rectBound}{The bounding rectangle for the mouse in the screen coordinates}
