Visual Basic Concepts
Context-Sensitive Help
Many parts of Visual Basic are context sensitive. Context sensitive**means you can get help on these parts directly without having to go through the Help menu. For example, to get Help on any keyword in the Visual Basic language, place the insertion point on that keyword in the Code window and press F1.
You can press F1 from any context-sensitive part of the Visual Basic interface to display Help information about that part. The context-sensitive parts are:
Every window in Visual Basic (Properties window, Code window, and so on)
Controls in the Toolbox
Objects on a form or document object
Properties in the Properties window
Visual Basic keywords (statements, functions, properties, methods, events, and special objects)
Error messages
