It must implement wxTipProvider::GetTip function and return the
current tip from it (different tip each time it is called).
You will never use this class yourself, but you need it to show startup tips
with wxShowTip. Also, if you want to get the tips text from elsewhere than a
simple text file, you will want to derive a new class from wxTipProvider and
- use it instead of the one returned by wxCreateFileTipProvider.
