Displays a context help question mark (?) next to the form or subform's close button.

Property of

Form, SubForm

Description

When contextHelp is set to true and mdi, maximize, and minimize  are set to False, a button displaying a question mark (?) will display to the left of the form or subform's Close button in the top right portion of the form's title bar.

Clicking the mouse on the contextHelp button starts contextHelp mode which changes the mouse pointer and allows the user to click on a form component to trigger the component's onHelp() event. Note: clicking on the form itself will do nothing at this point.

onHelp() can be used to perform a context sensitive help lookup for the component.

The default for contextHelp is false.
