/**
    @class wxTipProvider

    This is the class used together with wxShowTip() function.
    It must implement wxTipProvider::GetTip function and return the
    current tip from it (different tip each time it is called).

    You will never use this class yourself, but you need it to show startup tips
    with wxShowTip. Also, if you want to get the tips text from elsewhere than a
    simple text file, you will want to derive a new class from wxTipProvider and
    use it instead of the one returned by wxCreateFileTipProvider().
