@class wxTipWindow
@wxheader{tipwin.h}
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.

Constructor. The tip is shown immediately after the window is constructed.

The text to show, may contain the new line characters

The length of each line, in pixels. Set to a very large
value to avoid wrapping lines

Simply passed to

By default, the tip window disappears when the user clicks the mouse or presses
a keyboard key or if it loses focus in any other way - for example because the
user switched to another application window.
Additionally, if a non-empty @a rectBound is provided, the tip window will
also automatically close if the mouse leaves this area. This is useful to
dismiss the tip mouse when the mouse leaves the object it is associated with.

The bounding rectangle for the mouse in the screen coordinates
