Detailed Description

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 wxContextId() to convert an integer context id to a string for passing to wxWindow::SetHelpText().
