Definition

Namespace:
System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:
System.Windows.Forms.dll
Source:
HelpProvider.cs
Source:
HelpProvider.cs
Source:
HelpProvider.cs

Specifies the Help string associated with the specified control.

public:
 virtual void SetHelpString(System::Windows::Forms::Control ^ ctl, System::String ^ helpString);
public virtual void SetHelpString (System.Windows.Forms.Control ctl, string helpString);
public virtual void SetHelpString (System.Windows.Forms.Control ctl, string? helpString);
abstract member SetHelpString : System.Windows.Forms.Control * string -> unit
override this.SetHelpString : System.Windows.Forms.Control * string -> unit
Public Overridable Sub SetHelpString (ctl As Control, helpString As String)

Parameters

ctl
Control

A Control with which to associate the Help string.

helpString
String

The Help string associated with the control.

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.
