HelpContextID Property (Characters Object)

[Microsoft Agent is deprecated as of Windows 7, and may be unavailable in subsequent versions of Windows.]

Description

Returns or sets an associated context number for the character. Used to provide context-sensitive Help for the character.

Syntax

*agent.*Characters("CharacterID").HelpContextID [ = Number]

Part	Description
Number	An integer specifying a valid context number.

 

Remarks

To support context-sensitive Help for the character, assign the context number to the character you use for the associated Help topic when you compile your Help file. This property applies only to the client of the character; the setting does not affect other clients of the character or other characters of the client.

If you've created a Windows Help file for your application and set the character's HelpFile property, Agent automatically calls Help when HelpModeOn is set to True and the user clicks the character. If there is a context number in the HelpContextID, Agent calls Help and searches for the topic identified by the current context number. The current context number is the value of HelpContextID for the character.
