Send Help

Description

Sending Help invokes the context sensitive help system.

The type of help used in an application is determined by the cApplication object's peHelpType property. If the help type is set to htHtmlHelp, the method DoHtmlHelp will be sent to invoke help. If the help type is set to htNoHelp, nothing happens.

If the help type is set to htWinHelp, Extended_Help is called. The use of htWinHelp and Extended_Help is obsolete and not recommended (although for historical and compatibility reasons htWinHelp is the default).
