Help Button (HP)


Description
Appears as a normal push button, typically captioned ‘&Help’.

Intended to be used in dialogue boxes to invoke context-sensitive help. It pays to be fairly structured about assigning context numbers to your help topics, then you can use these numbers to enter the help file at the appropriate topic.

Will invoke the help file at its ‘Contents’ page if no context or keyword is given. If there is more than one occurrence of a keyword, the help file will open at the first reference to it.
