The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

If you press F1 to display context sensitive Help topics while focus is set to a non-intrinsic control (for example, the Microsoft CE PictureBox Control 6.0) within the Visual Basic design environment, a Help topic does not display.

RESOLUTION

To locate the Help topics for the control select the Help menu, and then click Windows CE Toolkit Help. Next, select the Index tab and search on the control name (for example, PictureBox control).

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

Draw the control on the default form (Form1).

Press F1 to open the context sensitive help for that control.

RESULT: No help topic displays.
