Context-sensitive help for non-focusing controls

[Stretchwickster]

Hi,

I'm trying to add context-sensitive help to an application. I have set the HelpContext property of all my controls to match the ContextIDs in my help file. It all functions nicely except for those controls that don't receive focus i.e. a TPanel, TChart & TGraphicBox. When I click the ? (help border icon) and then click on a Chart, for example, nothing happens. Anyone got any ideas?

Your help would be much appreciated!

Clive

Look at delphi tips at

http://www.whitware.com

for an example of context sensitive help.

Thanks for the link Don, that's just what I was looking for. I've read the article but haven't tried the technique yet but will give you a star when I've had time to experiment with it.
