- Many "modern" Windows programs have a feature (some would say annoyance) of
- presenting the user tips at program startup. While this is probably useless to
- the advanced users of the program, the experience shows that the tips may be
- quite helpful for the novices and so more and more programs now do this.
- For a wxWidgets programmer, implementing this feature is extremely easy. To
- show a tip, it is enough to just call #wxShowTip function
- like this:
- 
- @code
- if ( ...show tips at startup?... )
-     {
-         wxTipProvider *tipProvider = wxCreateFileTipProvider("tips.txt", 0);
-         wxShowTip(windowParent, tipProvider);
-         delete tipProvider;
-     }
- @endcode
- 
- Of course, you need to get the text of the tips from somewhere - in the example
- above, the text is supposed to be in the file tips.txt from where it is read by
- the @e tip provider. The tip provider is just an object of a class deriving
- from #wxTipProvider. It has to implement one pure
- virtual function of the base class: #GetTip.
- In the case of the tip provider created by 
- #wxCreateFileTipProvider, the tips are just
- the lines of the text file.
- If you want to implement your own tip provider (for example, if you wish to
- hardcode the tips inside your program), you just have to derive another class
- from wxTipProvider and pass a pointer to the object of this class to wxShowTip
- - then you don't need wxCreateFileTipProvider at all.
- You will probably want to save somewhere the index of the tip last
- shown - so that the program doesn't always show the same tip on startup. As you
- also need to remember whether to show tips or not (you shouldn't do it if the
- user unchecked "Show tips on startup" checkbox in the dialog), you will
- probably want to store both the index of the
- last shown tip (as returned by 
- wxTipProvider::GetCurrentTip and the flag
- telling whether to show the tips at startup at all.
- In a tips.txt file, lines that begin with a # character are considered comments 
- and are automatically skipped. Blank lines and lines only having spaces are also 
- skipped.
- You can easily add runtime-translation capacity by placing each line of the 
- tips.txt file inside the usual translation macro. For example, your tips.txt 
- file would look like this:
- 
- @code
- _("This is my first tip")
- _("This is my second tip")
- @endcode
- 
- Now add your tips.txt file into the list of files that gettext searches 
- for translatable strings. The tips will thus get included into your 
- generated .po file catalog and be translated at runtime along with the rest of 
- your application's translatable strings. 
- Note1: Each line in the tips.txt file needs to strictly begin with exactly the 
- 3 characters of underscore-parenthesis-doublequote, and end with 
- doublequote-parenthesis, as shown above. 
- Note2: Remember to escape any doublequote characters within the tip string with
- a backslash-doublequote.
- See the dialogs program in your samples folder for a working example inside a 
- program.
