Parameters

dwCompRole: UInt32

[in] Role of the VSPackage object requesting the Help display. For a list of valid dwCompRole values, see OLEROLE.

rclsidComp: Guid

[in] Class identifier (CLSID) of the VSPackage object requesting the Help display.

posMouse: POINT

[in] Identifies the position of the mouse.

dwHelpCmd: UInt32

[in] Identifies the Help command to be invoked.

pszHelpFile: String

[in] Points to the path to the Help file to be displayed.

dwData: UInt32

[in] Data specific to the VSPackage object.

Int32

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Remarks

COM Signature

From oleipc.idl:

HRESULT IOleComponentUIManager::ShowHelp(  
   [in] DWORD dwCompRole,  
   [in] REFCLSID rclsidComp,  
   [in] POINT posMouse,  
   [in] DWORD dwHelpCmd,  
   [in] LPOLESTR pszHelpFile,  
   [in] DWORD dwData  
);

ShowHelp calls the legacy SVsHelpService service. VSPackages can access a newer service for help by calling QueryService and requesting SID_SVsHelp and IID_Help.
