// wxHelpProvider is an abstract class used by the program implementing context help to
// show the help text (or whatever: it may be HTML page or anything else) for
// the given window.
//
// The current help provider must be explicitly set by the application using
// wxHelpProvider::Set().
//
// Special note about ShowHelpAtPoint() and ShowHelp(): we want to be able to
// override ShowHelpAtPoint() when we need to use different help messages for
// different parts of the window, but it should also be possible to override
// just ShowHelp() both for backwards compatibility and just because most
// often the help does not, in fact, depend on the position and so
// implementing just ShowHelp() is simpler and more natural, so by default
// ShowHelpAtPoint() forwards to ShowHelp(). But this means that
// wxSimpleHelpProvider has to override ShowHelp() and not ShowHelpAtPoint()
// for backwards compatibility as otherwise the existing code deriving from it
// and overriding ShowHelp() but calling the base class version wouldn't work
// any more, which forces us to use a rather ugly hack and pass the extra
