trouble with the help box

yo dudes,

i have a form with a helpbox in the controlbox. normally when you click the
helpbox the cursor changes to a question mark and when you click somerthing,
a help tooltip comes up. how do i make that tooltip? i know how to make
standard tooltips but how do i make it appear when the helpbox is clicked?

i do hope you get what i mean!

if what i want is impossible, is there a way to make something else happen
when you click the help button e.g. open another form?

You could have a boolean member

private bool m_HelpIconClicked = false;

and you can change the value in the event raised when the help button is
clicked.
Then the code for displaying your tool tips can check

if(m_HelpIconClicked)
// do display stuff

Of all words of tongue and pen, the saddest are: "It might have been"
