I have a basic help system set up for my program (Winforms, VB/Dot Net 2.0).
Hit F1 and get help for each current screen. Now my boss has suddenly decided
the help needs to be more 'granular', for lack of a better term. While I can
and have set help for individual controls, what she wants is something a
little more obvious and visible, perhaps icons next to each control. I can
see a number of ways to implement this but feel free make suggestions.
Also, I have a memory from long ago of an application in which it was
possible to put the cursor into what could be called 'What is it?' mode. You
click on a control and get Help instead of the usual action. Anyone remember
this? Any built-in way to do this in VS?
