This might help: http://www.helpscribble.com/dotnet.html

Its built into .NET forms.

Set the forms .HelpButton property to true, but you also need to set the maximized and minimized buttons to false in order to get the help button to show up.

If that is not an option, you will have to look to some API for adding a button to the title bar.

Hi,

You can do just this;

VB Code:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
 
        MaximizeBox = False
        MinimizeBox = False
        HelpButton = True
 
    End Sub

Wkr,

I use a grid from a company that does what you are talking about, it is a ActiveX control though and cost money.

Hi,

I found a link about ActiveX controls, perhaps it could be useful;
