MS Treeview helpcontextids

[ChrisRChamberlain]

Hi all

Anyone know where, if anywhere, the MSComtlLib.TreeCtrl.2 has .HelpContextID properties?

AFAIK, the CMCTL198.chm has no references to them.

TIA

TreeView doesn't have HelpContextId, also if TreeView has focus F1 doesn't works )
But in KeyDown Event of the treeview you can:

IF keycode == 28 (F1)
   HELP ID ContextId 
ENDIF

Chris,

I wonder if you can establish a Help context ID by putting the treeview in a container, and using the container's HelpContextID property.

Just thinking aloud.

Borislav, Mike

Thanks for your response.

As the .HelpContextID property is read/write at runtime I was thinking along the lines that you suggest Mike, ie use the .HelpContextID of the form or container, and assign a suitable value to it through a mouse event of whatever node etc.

Thus if the F1 key fires as Borislav suggests, HELP ID THISFORM.HelpContextID, the topic in the HTMLHelp .chm would relate to the relevant node, etc.

That's the theory but have yet to try it.
