wx.adv.TipProvider¶

This is the class used together with wx.adv.ShowTip function.

It must implement wx.adv.TipProvider.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 ShowTip. 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 wx.adv.TipProvider and use it instead of the one returned by wx.adv.CreateFileTipProvider .

Possible constructors:

TipProvider(currentTip)

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

__init__(self, currentTip)¶

Constructor.

Parameters: currentTip (int) – The starting tip index.

GetCurrentTip(self)¶

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 wx.adv.ShowTip . Note that it is not the same as the value which was passed to ShowTip + 1 because the user might have pressed the “Next” button in the tip dialog.

Return type: int

GetTip(self)¶

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.

Return type: string
