    wxHelpProvider is an abstract class used by a program implementing
    context-sensitive help to
    show the help text for the given window.

    The current help provider must be explicitly set by the application using
    wxHelpProvider::Set().

/**
    @class wxHelpControllerHelpProvider
    @wxheader{cshelp.h}

    wxHelpControllerHelpProvider is an implementation of wxHelpProvider which
    supports
    both context identifiers and plain text help strings. If the help text is an
    integer,
    it is passed to wxHelpController::DisplayContextPopup. Otherwise, it shows the
    string
    in a tooltip as per wxSimpleHelpProvider. If you use this with a
    wxCHMHelpController instance
    on windows, it will use the native style of tip window instead of wxTipWindow.

    You can use the convenience function @b wxContextId to convert an integer
    context
    id to a string for passing to wxWindow::SetHelpText.

/**
    @class wxContextHelp
    @wxheader{cshelp.h}

    This class changes the cursor to a query and puts the application into a
    'context-sensitive help mode'.
    When the user left-clicks on a window within the specified window, a wxEVT_HELP
    event is
    sent to that control, and the application may respond to it by popping up some
    help.

    For example:

    @code
    wxContextHelp contextHelp(myWindow);
    @endcode

    There are a couple of ways to invoke this behaviour implicitly:

     Use the wxDIALOG_EX_CONTEXTHELP style for a dialog (Windows only). This will
    put a question mark
    in the titlebar, and Windows will put the application into context-sensitive
    help mode automatically,
    with further programming.
     Create a wxContextHelpButton, whose predefined behaviour is to create a
    context help object.
    Normally you will write your application so that this button is only added to a
    dialog for non-Windows platforms
    (use wxDIALOG_EX_CONTEXTHELP on Windows).

    Note that on Mac OS X, the cursor does not change when in context-sensitive
    help mode.

/**
    @class wxContextHelpButton
    @wxheader{cshelp.h}

    Instances of this class may be used to add a question mark button that when
    pressed, puts the
    application into context-help mode. It does this by creating a wxContextHelp
    object which itself
    generates a wxEVT_HELP event when the user clicks on a window.

    On Windows, you may add a question-mark icon to a dialog by use of the
    wxDIALOG_EX_CONTEXTHELP extra style, but
    on other platforms you will have to add a button explicitly, usually next to
    OK, Cancel or similar buttons.
