Constructor.
{\it style} is combination of these flags:

\func{bool}{AddBook}{\param{const wxString\& }{book}, \param{bool }{show\_wait\_msg}}
If {\it show\_wait\_msg} is TRUE then a decorationless window with progress message is displayed.

+\func{virtual wxHtmlHelpFrame*}{CreateHelpFrame}{\param{wxHtmlHelpData * }{data}}

+This protected virtual method may be overridden so that the controller

You should list all pages in the contents file.
\membersection{wxHtmlHelpController::ReadCustomization}\label{wxhtmlhelpcontrollerreadcustomization}
Sets the path for storing temporary files - cached binary versions of index and contents files. These binary
forms are much faster to read. Default value is empty string (empty string means
-that no cached data are stored). Note that these files are {\it not}
+that no cached data are stored). Note that these files are {\it not}
deleted when program exits.
Once created these cached files will be used in all subsequent executions
Stores controllers setting (position of window etc.)
