Add "Help" button

• AnthonyOpsDE

  Hi

  Why dont you use a tooTip control from your toolbox property, so that when the user hover/clicks on the control (e.g Button, textBox, whatever) it displays a message which you can set in the control tooTip in Tooltip properties.

  Hope this Helps

  private void Form1_HelpButtonClicked(Object sender, CancelEventArgs e) { MessageBox.Show("My Program Details", "Version 1", MessageBoxButtons.OK ,MessageBoxIcon.Information); }

  --------------------------------Form1.Designer.cs-----------------------------

  namespace WindowsApplication1

  {

  partial class Form1

  {

  and Embed this code to your Form1.cs

  private void Form1_HelpButtonClicked(Object sender, CancelEventArgs e)

  {

  MessageBox.Show("My Program Details", "Version 1", MessageBoxButtons.OK ,MessageBoxIcon.Information);

  }

  Hi,

  You should set MaximizeBox and MinimizeBox properties of your form to False, and then set HelpButton property True.
