Parameters

pdwRole
Type: System.UInt32%

[in][out] On input, pointer to the role of the in-place object requesting the help topic. On output, pointer to the role of the in-place object responsible for displaying the help topic. For a list of valid pdwRole values, see OLEROLE.

pclsid
Type: System.Guid%

[in][out] On input, pointer to the class identifier of the in-place object requesting the help topic. On output, pointer to the class identifier of the in-place object responsible for displaying the help topic.

posMouse
Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop.POINT

[in] Specifies the position of the mouse. Mouse position can be useful for user interface modes that display help for a user interface element instead of executing the command associated with that element.

dwHelpCmd
Type: System.UInt32

[in] Specifies the help topic to display.

pszHelpFileIn
Type: System.String

[in] Pointer to a help file to display.

ppszHelpFileOut
Type: System.String%

[out] Pointer to the help file that was displayed.

dwDataIn
Type: System.UInt32

[in] Specifies help data to display.

pdwDataOut
Type: System.UInt32%

[out] Pointer to the help data that was displayed.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Remarks

COM Signature

From oleipc.idl:

HRESULT IOleInPlaceComponent::GetCntrHelp(
   [in][out] DWORD *pdwRole,
   [in][out] CLSID *pclsid,
   [in] POINT posMouse,
   [in] DWORD dwHelpCmd,
   [in] LPOLESTR pszHelpFileIn,
   [out] LPOLESTR *ppszHelpFileOut,
   [in] DWORD dwDataIn,
   [out] DWORD *pdwDataOut
);

An in-place VSPackage object acting as a main component can override the help file and/or help context of a subcomponent or component control in-place object.

The environment is responsible for freeing the OUT string parameters using the active OLE IMalloc allocator.

Typically, most in-place objects return S_OK from this method.
