    Question Adding specific MS Help Workshop htm to a textbox

    Okay managed to get help working for the individual windows in my project, is it possible to get it working from a textbox control? If so how the heck do you do it?

    TIA

    What do you mean "from a textbox control"? Do you need to display help for an individual textbox?

    Basically have non-computrer literate end users who need a lot of hand holding, ergo the need to put an F1 help statement on each input control.

    For each control set the "HelpContextID" property as apt, and for the form set the "WhatsThisHelp" to true, and "WhatsThisButton" if you want (if the button isn't there, I think it shows the topic when you press F1).

    I rarely use it, as I usually find that a ToolTip is enough.
