Demo project showing how to use Whats This Help in a VB project
by Bryan Stafford of New Vision SoftwareŽ - newvision@imt.net
this demo is released into the public domain "as is" without
warranty or guaranty of any kind.  In other words, use at
your own risk.

The Whats This Help button is only displayed on a form with
the "Fixed Dialog" style.  As you can see, implementing
Whats This Help does not require any coding on your part.
You simply set the WhatsThisButton and WhatsThisHelp properties
for the form to true and then add a context ID value in the
WhatsThisHelpID property for any controls that you wish to
display Whats This Help for.  You must also set the Help File
Name in the Project Properties dialog in the VB IDE to point to
the help file you have created for your project.

The biggest task that you face in implementing Whats This Help
is the creation of your help file.  There are several help file
creation tools out there including the Help Workshop that comes
with Visual Basic.  You will need to be sure to add context IDs
to your help file that correspond to the values that you set for
the WhatsThisHelpID property for the controls in your project.
I have included the .rtf and .hpj files used to create the help
file for this demo in the zip file that contains this demo
