About App Builder Help

With App Builder you can create help for any object in the interface--a control, a pane, or a window. Help is created in the Help Editor, as described in "To Create Help". In test mode or in the compiled application, help is displayed in the following ways:

• Press F1 with the cursor over an interface window.

  If help exists for the object with input focus, it is displayed. If there is no help for the object with input focus but help exists for a parent window, help for that window will be displayed.

• Click the Help button in a window or dialog box.

• Choose On Item from the Help menu and click on an object in the interface.

See "To Test On Item Help" for instructions for testing On Item help. If help is not available for a particular child object (a control or a pane) but is available for the parent of the child object (a pane or a window), help for the parent object is displayed.
