POPUP-HELP

Determines whether help invoked for the dialog or one of its controls via the title bar help button or pressing F1 should be displayed in a popup window. A popup window is a tool tip style window usually containing only text, which is automatically removed when the window loses the focus.

Help for popup windows can be created via the Help Organizer in the same way as for non-popup help. For HTML help, it is currently necessary to enter popup help text into a separate text file, which is then compiled into the help file together with the HTML topics.

Note:
To invoke the popup help in the latter case, it is necessary to explicitly specify the name of the text file in the HELP-FILENAME attribute via the syntax helpfilename.chm::/ textfilename.txt. Please refer to your HTML authoring tool help for further information.

Applies to Dialog (all types).
Data Type BOOLEAN
Default Value FALSE
Possible Values TRUE / FALSE
