Dave,
TForm does not package the message sent by the icon into an event. You will
have to trap WM_SYSCOMMAND message and check the wParam parameter to see if
it equals SC_CONTEXTHELP.
procedure wmSysCommand (var Message: TMessage); message WM_SYSCOMMAND;
procedure TMyForm.wmSysCommand (var Message: TMessage);
begin
if Message.wParam = SCCONTEXTHELP then // do something
else Inherited;
end;
Alternatively, you can trap the TForm/TApplication OnHelp event (must have
set HelpContext property).
