    You can only have a "What's This" button on a form that only shows a "Close" button on the title bar. You can't have a Min or Max button as well. A "Fixed Single" form and a "Fixed Dialog" form allow you to have a "What's This", all others do not.

    I'm not able to get a "what's this" question on my MDI form. It would be real nice if it were possible, but so far I can't make it happen. Any tips or clues? I tried changing the whats this help to true but there is no what's this button available.

    You can't because it's an MDI form. An MDI form must have a minimize, maximize and close button.

    Otherwise it would infringe on conditions that Microsoft have for Windows compatibility or something like that

    I don't mind infringing on M$ if anyone knows how. Is there an API or trick to get a question mark button in the title bar? Then I can just have the click event call "what's this help".
