Click to expand...

Drag from the Toolbox onto your Form a HelpProvider component. From that
moment on, your textboxes (and all other controls) will acquire three
properties starting with "Help...", such as "HelpKeywrd on HekpProvider1".
You use those properties to "map" the adequete help file entry for the
textbox.
 
Hi Alberto.
Thank you for help.
But I am still haing a problem with that.
I created simple project with one form and one checkbox1, then I added to
the Form HelpProider1, and then in my script I added:

String s = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

string sReg = Application.StartupPath;

if (s.EndsWith("\\") == false)

s += "\\";

this.helpProvider1.HelpNamespace = s + "Test.chm";

this.helpProvider1.SetHelpKeyword(this.checkBox1, "275");

this.helpProvider1.SetHelpNavigator(this.checkBox1,
System.Windows.Forms.HelpNavigator.TopicId);

When run it and drug the "?" to the checkbox, nothing happens.

I tested same thing in VB an it works fine.

What am I missing?

Please help
