Description

Specifies whether the control's context-sensitive Help topic is identified by a context ID or by keyword.

Set HelpType to specify whether the control identifies its context-sensitive Help topic by a context ID or by keyword:

  • When HelpType is htContext, the HelpContext property value identifies the control's Help topic.
  • When HelpType is htKeyword, the HelpKeyword property value identifies the control's Help topic.

To use the Help, insert in the uses clause of your application the Vcl.HtmlHelpViewer or another unit that provides an interface to the external Help viewer to use. For C++, you need to include the HTMLHelpViewer.hpp header file.
