    @class wxToolTip
    @wxheader{tooltip.h}

    This class holds information about a tooltip associated with a window
    (see wxWindow::SetToolTip).

    The four static methods, wxToolTip::Enable,
    wxToolTip::SetDelay
    wxToolTip::SetAutoPop and
    wxToolTip::SetReshow can be used to globally
    alter tooltips behaviour.
