Short
-----------------------------------
Many programs on other operating systems often offer so called
"Tip of the day" stickers. It's mostly small window opened on
program startup, showing valuable (more or less) information about
the program, some useful information, keyboard shortcuts or just
neat tips or quick how-to solutions...
I think, that from the user's point of view it's good idea to have
such feature, especially Tips can be turned off if you felt bored.
As you probably guessed, this class is supposed to handle such
tips for your MUI based application almost in fully automatic manner
(you just need to add 3 lines of code to have fully functional Tip
Of The Day implemented! See the enclosed demonstration for more
details.
You like the class? Feel free to use it in your programs.
Tip Of The Day class is freeware software, but it's copyrighted
