Setting the Menu and Form Help Topic

VPM Enterprise and Windows take care of sending menu and form help topics to the Windows Help engine when F1 is pressed.

·       Menu Prompt: If F1 is pressed when a menu prompt is highlighted, Windows sets the FoxPro Help topic to the menu prompt.

·       Form Caption: If F1 is pressed when a form is active, VPM Enterprise sets the FoxPro Help topic to the form caption.

When F1 is pressed, the Windows Help engine displays the Help file topic that has a keyword matching the menu or screen topic.

Tip – Unique Form Captions: Be sure to make your form captions unique. You can then create unique Help topic titles that match the form captions. When a user presses F1 while a form is active, the VPM Enterprise Help engine will send the form caption to the Windows Help engine. Windows Help will display the topic with a title that matches the form caption.
