wx.HelpControllerHelpProvider

wx.HelpControllerHelpProvider is an implementation of wx.HelpProvider which supports both context identifiers and plain text help strings.

If the help text is an integer, it is passed to wx.HelpController.DisplayContextPopup . Otherwise, it shows the string in a tooltip as per wx.SimpleHelpProvider. If you use this with a CHMHelpController instance on windows, it will use the native style of tip window instead of wx.TipWindow.

You can use the convenience function ContextId() to convert an integer context id to a string for passing to wx.Window.SetHelpText .
