wxHelpProvider is an abstract class used by a program implementing context-sensitive help to show the help text for the given window.
The current help provider must be explicitly set by the application using Set().
Public Member Functions | |
virtual | ~wxHelpProvider () |
Virtual destructor for any base class. | |
virtual void | AddHelp (wxWindowBase *window, const wxString &text) |
Associates the text with the given window. | |
virtual void | AddHelp (wxWindowID id, const wxString &text) |
Associates the text with the given ID. | |
virtual wxString | GetHelp (const wxWindowBase *window)=0 |
This version associates the given text with all windows with this id. | |
virtual void | RemoveHelp (wxWindowBase *window) |
Removes the association between the window pointer and the help text. | |
virtual bool | ShowHelp (wxWindowBase *window) |
Shows help for the given window. | |
virtual bool | ShowHelpAtPoint (wxWindowBase *window, const wxPoint &point, wxHelpEvent::Origin origin) |
This function may be overridden to show help for the window when it should depend on the position inside the window, By default this method forwards to ShowHelp(), so it is enough to only implement the latter if the help doesn't depend on the position. | |
Static Public Member Functions | |
static wxHelpProvider * | Get () |
Returns pointer to help provider instance. | |
static wxHelpProvider * | Set (wxHelpProvider *helpProvider) |
Set the current, application-wide help provider. |
virtual wxHelpProvider::~wxHelpProvider | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Virtual destructor for any base class.
virtual void wxHelpProvider::AddHelp | ( | wxWindowBase * | window, |
const wxString & | text | ||
) | [virtual] |
Associates the text with the given window.
virtual void wxHelpProvider::AddHelp | ( | wxWindowID | id, |
const wxString & | text | ||
) | [virtual] |
Associates the text with the given ID.
This help text will be shown for all windows with ID id, unless they have more specific help text associated using the other AddHelp() prototype. May be used to set the same help string for all Cancel buttons in the application, for example.
static wxHelpProvider* wxHelpProvider::Get | ( | ) | [static] |
Returns pointer to help provider instance.
Unlike some other classes, the help provider is not created on demand. This must be explicitly done by the application using Set().
virtual wxString wxHelpProvider::GetHelp | ( | const wxWindowBase * | window | ) | [pure virtual] |
This version associates the given text with all windows with this id.
May be used to set the same help string for all Cancel buttons in the application, for example.
virtual void wxHelpProvider::RemoveHelp | ( | wxWindowBase * | window | ) | [virtual] |
Removes the association between the window pointer and the help text.
This is called by the wxWindow destructor. Without this, the table of help strings will fill up and when window pointers are reused, the wrong help string will be found.
static wxHelpProvider* wxHelpProvider::Set | ( | wxHelpProvider * | helpProvider | ) | [static] |
Set the current, application-wide help provider.
virtual bool wxHelpProvider::ShowHelp | ( | wxWindowBase * | window | ) | [virtual] |
Shows help for the given window.
Override this function if the help doesn't depend on the exact position inside the window, otherwise you need to override ShowHelpAtPoint(). Returns true if help was shown, or false if no help was available for this window.
virtual bool wxHelpProvider::ShowHelpAtPoint | ( | wxWindowBase * | window, |
const wxPoint & | point, | ||
wxHelpEvent::Origin | origin | ||
) | [virtual] |
This function may be overridden to show help for the window when it should depend on the position inside the window, By default this method forwards to ShowHelp(), so it is enough to only implement the latter if the help doesn't depend on the position.
window | Window to show help text for. |
point | Coordinates of the mouse at the moment of help event emission. |
origin | Help event origin, see wxHelpEvent::GetOrigin. |
