Examples
The following code example demonstrates using the HelpProvider class to display context-sensitive Help on a form containing four address fields. The example uses the SetHelpString method to set the Help ToolTip text. When you use the context-sensitive Help button and click the Help cursor on an address field, the Help ToolTip appears with the specified text. When you press the F1 key with the focus in an address field, the mspaint.chm Help file is displayed because the HelpNamespace property has been set to mspaint.chm. The SetShowHelp method is called for each address control to identify that it has Help content available.

Remarks
If you previously called the SetHelpString or SetHelpKeyword for the control specified in the ctl parameter, the HelpProvider automatically displays Help for that control. To modify this behavior, call the SetShowHelp method, specifying false in the value parameter.
