==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title|  **wx.html.HtmlModalHelp**
==========================================================================================================================================

This class uses :ref:`wx.html.HtmlHelpController`  to display help in a modal dialog.          

This is useful on platforms such as Mac where if you display help from a modal dialog, the help window must itself be a modal dialog. 

Create objects of this class on the stack, for example: 

::

    # The help can be browsed during the lifetime of self object when the
    # user quits the help, program execution will continue.
    help = wx.html.HtmlModalHelp(parent, "help", "My topic")
