Application Help does not always work

davidgraham — Wed, 07 Mar 2001 01:00:26 GMT

I have a Window PI project, when a dialog box is displayed I can press F1 and the appropriate help is displayed.
This works in most dialogs, but in some cases it does not work.
When it works I get a message of 83 - (#0053) and I call my Help routine, but in other dialogs I am not getting the message 83 when I press F1.

Any ideas why this is going wrong?

Thanks,

David

I have worked out why myself.

Its because I didn't have - case (WM_INITDIALOG) - I had deleted it as it didn't appear to do anything!
