+
+        The hints are usually used to indicate to the user what is supposed to
+        be entered into the given entry field, e.g. a common use of them is to
+        show an explanation of what can be entered in a wxSearchCtrl.
+
+        The hint is shown (usually greyed out) for an empty control until it
+        gets focus and is shown again if the control loses it and remains
+        empty. It won't be shown once the control has a non-empty value,
+        although it will be shown again if the control contents is cleared.
+        Because of this, it generally only makes sense to use hints with the
+        controls which are initially empty.
+
+        Notice that hints are known as <em>cue banners</em> under MSW or
+        <em>placeholder strings</em> under OS X.
