Enumeration Type Documentation

enum wxTipKind

Support tip kinds for wxRichToolTip.

This enum describes the kind of the tip shown which combines both the tip position and appearance because the two are related (when the tip is positioned asymmetrically, a right handed triangle is used but an equilateral one when it's in the middle of a side).

Automatic selects the tip appearance best suited for the current platform and the position best suited for the window the tooltip is shown for, i.e. chosen in such a way that the tooltip is always fully on screen.

Other values describe the position of the tooltip itself, not the window it relates to. E.g. wxTipKind_Top places the tip on the top of the tooltip and so the tooltip itself is located beneath its associated window.

Enumerator
wxTipKind_None	Don't show any tip, the tooltip will be (roughly) rectangular.
wxTipKind_TopLeft	Show a right triangle tip in the top left corner of the tooltip.
wxTipKind_Top	Show an equilateral triangle tip in the middle of the tooltip top side.
wxTipKind_TopRight	Show a right triangle tip in the top right corner of the tooltip.
wxTipKind_BottomLeft	Show a right triangle tip in the bottom left corner of the tooltip.
wxTipKind_Bottom	Show an equilateral triangle tip in the middle of the tooltip bottom side.
wxTipKind_BottomRight	Show a right triangle tip in the bottom right corner of the tooltip.
wxTipKind_Auto	Choose the appropriate tip shape and position automatically. This is the default and shouldn't normally need to be changed. Notice that currently wxTipKind_Top or wxTipKind_Bottom are used under Mac while one of the other four values is selected for the other platforms.
