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.
