    The WhatThisHelp feature works like the ToolTip (the yellow bubbles that come up , when you hold the mouse over a control for some time). The difference is, to show the WhatThisHelp you have to select the question mark (WhatThisHelpButton) and click on the Control for which you want to have the Help.
    The implementation of the WhatThisHelp is more difficult. The ToolTipText has only to be set to each control, for the WhatThisHelp you need to compile the neccessary Help-text into a Chm Help file. The ContextID of each control have to correspond with the numbers used in this file and so forth...
