HelpRequested 

What is the "HelpRequested" method.

If doesn't seem to do anything at the form level or button level or textbox level.

does it require a "HelpProvider"?

I would like to know when the "F1" key is pressed so I can pass some params to my help framework.

Re: HelpRequested 

Hi,

The HelpRequested is a Control level event that is supposed to fire when you press F1. This is not fully working in Visual WebGui at this point in time as you can see on this open tracker entry here. In any case, here is the wiki article to HelpProvider with links to some more information that you may find useful.

Help.ShowHelp can also be useful.

Hope this helps,

Palli

Thanks,

We do not like CHM help over a web app. We are using RoboHelp and/or HelpSmith to produce all html and css otherwise known as "web help".

Therefore we dont need HelpProvder  or Help.Show, we simply were after a way to Trap the 'f1' key. It seems adding the KeyDown event in our main form has done the trick.

When F1 is pressed, we capture our loaded user control and therefore can show context help as low as the module (or user control). Having it as low as the actual field is not necessary.

 

Thanks, you can close this thread.
