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.

Proposed fixes for the wxWindows joystick code under
MSW.
Some of these would be valid for other platforms, too.
Events for buttons are named wrong, docs say different.
Docs say EVT_JOY_BUTTON_DOWN and
EVT_JOY_BUTTON_UP,
but the code says EVT_JOY_DOWN and EVT_JOY_UP. I
suggest
changing the code to match the docs.
wxJoystick::GetNumberJoysticks() should be a static
member
function. Having to create a joystick object to see if there
are joysticks is silly.
Docs for GetNumberJoysticks() must be changed; it returns
the
number of potentially connected joysticks, not the number of
actually connected. Alternatively, GetNumberJoysticks() and
others must be rewritten to conform with documentation,
including
remapping of wxWindows sequential joystick ID's to match
MSW non-sequential joystick ID's.
dwSize is not set when joyGetPosEx() is called. SEVERE
ERROR.
Error return value from functions should not be a legal
return,
for instance, wxJoystick::GetPOVCTSPosition() returns 0
for error,
but this is a legal return value.
GetButtonState() supports only four (out of 32) buttons.
Also, should return as bitmap (LSB = button 1). (Win32
does this,
although not documented as such).

- This patch implements a generic notebook based mdi,
due to that wxMDIChildFrame could not derive from
wxFrame some things in the samples and in the docmdi
classes needed to be adjusted... basically this comes
down to not do (wxFrame *) but instead do
(wxMDIChildFrame *), or store a pointer to the frame in a
wxWindow* instead of a wxFrame variable...
- The main reason wxMDIChildFrame cannot derive from
wxFrame is that it would take to much platform specific
functions to be overwritten (= lot of ifdef's). This then
couldn't be called generic anymore, so that's why we
need to derive from wxPanel...
- Tested on/with:
1. wxMSW (I disabled the MSW MDI implementation to
be able to test it), tested it with the MDI sample,
docvwmdi sample and docview sample and also tested it
with wxWorkshop. (test = compile and run)
2. wxX11, tested with the same set wxWin samples as
the wxMSW test. I also compiled wxWorkshop with it,
but could not run wxWorkshop due to some issue not
related to the MDI implementation.
- How to apply:
* Apply the patch
* move mdig.cpp into wxWindows/src/generic/
* move mdig.h into wxWindows/include/wx/generic/
- Some extra things that still need to be done:
* File lists, project files should be updated to include
mdig.cpp (the patch only change this on wxX11)
* The configuration script should be updated.
* Maybe wxUSE_GENERIC_MDI_ARCHITECTURE also
should be added so it is only included when wanted...

This allows changing the padding of the icons and text
in the tab of a wxNotebook for wxGTK.
Since the container in the tab is only a horizontal
container only the width component is used. Negative
values are acceptable so no checks were made.
It now defaults to a padding of 0 on the sides and 1 in
between the icon and label, looks good for a few
"themes" I tried.
Note: Unfortunately there is no function to set the
padding on the left or right side of a widget.
gtk_box_set_child_packing sets padding on BOTH sides of
a widget so you'd get double the spacing between an
icon and the label. To get around this, the icon (if
there was one) is removed and added back. That way the
icon will provide the padding on the left and the label
will provide the padding between and to the right. It
looks nice for all sizes. The
gtk_container_set_border_width unforuntately only adds
borders to ALL sides equally.
A simple check is to add m_notebook->SetPadding in one
in the spinctrl callback in the controls sample. (set
appropriate range too -10,20). Note that the tab sizes
change to fit the width of the panel, if appropriate,
and so the spacing between the icon and label changes
accordingly. This isn't a bug, but it does look weird
as you scan up and down the spacing (which nobody would
normally do).
I also changed all wxGtkNotebookPage variables to
nb_page so that "int page" would be used to mean the
page number. Just cosmetic for consistency with the
rest of the functions that were already like that.

This patch updates the CW section in
docs/msw/install.txt for the development (2.3.3) branch.
It fixes a couple typos and clarifies how to use the
minimal project file as a template for other projects.
