Summary
Display or hide dialog box help buttons.
Description
The ShowHelp property is used to enable or disable the display of help buttons in the dialog boxes displayed by the VT220 ActiveX control such as the keyboard dialog box. By default, all
VT220 ActiveX control dialog boxes used to obtain input from the user display a help button. Once the user clicks on any one of the help buttons, the ActiveX control displays a section of its help
file. If an application wants to disable the help buttons to avoid the display of the ActiveX control's help file, then it can set the ShowHelp property to False.
The ShowHelp property can be changed at any time. This allows an application to selectively enable and disable help buttons just before a specific dialog box is displayed.
This property can be set at any time. The default value for this property is True.
This property allows you to create your own customized help for each ActiveX built-in dialog. If you do not wish to have a help file you should set this property to FALSE and the help button will not
appear on these dialog boxes. On the other hand if you wish to create a help file you need to name it VT220.hlp and it should be in the same directory as the VT220 ActiveX control.
Listed below are the dialogs that have a help button. For each of the respective dialogs help topics use the associated topic id:
