wxTipProvider Class Reference

#include <wx/tipdlg.h>

Detailed Description

This is the class used together with wxShowTip() function.

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().

const

Returns the index of the current tip (i.e. the one which would be returned by GetTip()).

The program usually remembers the value returned by this function after calling 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.

virtual wxString wxTipProvider::GetTip ( )

pure virtual

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.
