This is a patch to wxTip Provider classes used by the "Tip of the day" dialog.
See wx-dev archives August 2002 for discussion of the functionality design.
It does 5 things:
-Support for comments inside the tips file. The pound character (#) is used, as recommended by Vadim.
-Allows optional easy translation support to tips, by marking them as translatable for gettext, by enclosing them in a _(""). Program will translate these tips at runtime from the active catalog.
-Blank lines or lines with just spaces are automatically skipped (I had to put this in, I keep wondering why I get blank tips sometimes and it is because the text file had a empty blank line at the end of the text file).
-There is a pluggable virtual function to preprocess to modify the tip in a derived class, in case something specialized is desired, such as variable expansion, etc, as recommended by Julian and Vadim.
-Now resets the tip counter if the previous tip is past the end of the file (ie you removed some tips, or changed tip files), as discussed on wx-dev.
This patch updates:
-The classes.
-The class documentation and the Tip-of-the-day topic overview documentation.
-The dialogs example, placing some new strings for the tips.txt file which demonstrate how to use the Tip-of-the-day features for in practice.
