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

Return the text of the current tip and pass to the next one. This function is
pure virtual, it should be implemented in the derived classes.

+Returns a modified tip. This function will be called immediately after read,

+to translate. You can optionally override this in your custom user-derived class
+to optionally to modify the tip as soon as it is read. You can return any
+modification to the string. If you return wxEmptyString, then this tip is
+skipped, and the next one is read.

The program usually remembers the value returned by this function after calling
\helpref{wxShowTip}{wxshowtip}. Note that it is not the same as the value which
was passed to wxShowTip $+ 1$ because the user might have pressed the "Next"
button in the tip dialog.
