ApplicationObject.Help([cFileName] [, nContextID] [, cHelpTopic])

Parameters

  • cFileName
    Specifies the name of the Help file to open. Include a path with the Help file name if the Help file isn't in the default directory.
  • nContextID
    Specifies the Help topic to display, based on the topic's context ID. nContextID is a context number in the MAP section of the help project file.
  • cHelpTopic
    Specifies the Help topic to display. If you include just a partial spelling of a topic title, Visual FoxPro opens the Help window and displays the topic with the closest matching title.

Remarks

If none of the optional arguments are included, the main Help topic is displayed. This method does not support .dbf-style Help.
