Article ID: Q150223
The information in this article applies to:
  • Standard, Professional, and Enterprise Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic, 16-bit and 32-bit, for Windows, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

The Customize dialog box of the Toolbar contains a Help button, but there is no way to invoke Help from this button. This behavior occurs because there is no HelpContextID property for the Toolbar to access the Help topic.

STATUS

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Start a new project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.

  2. Place a Toolbar control on Form1. Change the BorderStyle to 1 - Fixed Single.

  3. Run the project by pressing the F5 key. Double-click inside the Toolbar and notice that the Customize Toolbar dialog box appears. Press the Help button inside this dialog box and note that nothing happens.
