    @class wxTipWindow

    Shows simple text in a popup tip window on creation.
    This is used by wxSimpleHelpProvider to show popup help.
    The window automatically destroys itself when the user clicks on it or it
    loses the focus.

    You may also use this class to emulate the tooltips when you need finer
    control over them than what the standard tooltips provide.
