HelpButton, what HelpButton?

[Peter Oliphant]

On a managed C++ Form I have tried both true and false for the HelpButton
property. I see no difference. Where is the Help button suppose to go, what
does it look like, and why won't it come up?

My guess is it's suppose to look like a question mark in a small box in the
upper-right corner of the form next to the minimize, maximize, and close
buttons...

Thanks in advance... : )

You're right, the Help button shows in the caption bar (next to the close
button).
However, it is intended to be used for dialog boxes only, not for main frame
windows - therefore, it only shows on forms where MaximizeBox and
MinimizeBox have been set to False.
