DynamicHelp for WinForms

Add Context-sensitive Help to Any Form

View Help files in WinForms applications with ComponentOne DynamicHelp™ for WinForms. Conceptually similar to using ToolTips, DynamicHelp for WinForms also provides Help on individual controls. The main difference is that ToolTips typically contain only a single sentence or paragraph. An actual Help topic, by contrast, typically contains more content, often including hyperlinks, images, tables, and more. This type of Help system is available in applications such as Microsoft Visual Studio, Microsoft Office, and ComponentOne Doc-To-Help.

Developers and Help authors can use DynamicHelp for WinForms to assign specific Help topics to controls within an application. The C1DynamicHelp control displays context-sensitive help corresponding to the control that is being hovered over or the control that has the focus. Improve the usability of your applications with DynamicHelp for WinForms; your end-users will appreciate the added support.
