Actually thats not the question, this is the question:
If you would for one second click on the clock in ur bottom right corner a window would come up next to the x button would be a ? button how can i get that to be in my VB app.? probably very easy i just didnt find it yet......
Look up the "WhatsThisButton" and "WhatsThisHelp" properties for the form.
Thanks dude i just posted this message a few minutes!
ok i got the question mark part down but how do u get the stuff into the "whatsthishelp" It asks for an ID but then what?
....in which case enter an id against each help topic. And send this id off to the help processor in your app
If you don't have and/or don't want to go through the hassle of creating a help file you could always use the ToolTipText property of almost every control to specify the help information - then when the user holds the mouse over a particular button etc the help will be displayed.
Not as good as a true help file but a lot easier to implement.
