Aye, therein lies the rub. I haven't had any practical application for it yet, but hopefully this page from the MSDN will help:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/ frlrfSystemWindowsFormsFormClassHelpButtonTopic.asp This page describes the event for a Help button as 'control.HelpRequested', I can only assume that means you will have a sub for each item you want to provide help on? I tried to write a quick program, but didn't have much luck making it work. This is all I have found so far, but I hope that it helps you out.
