Whenever a help request is made for a child control, the system passes the
WM_HELP message to the parent (form or whatever). Not having access to the
source code, I suppose it is possible that Delphi ignores the message if the
child control is not a TWinControl, since the form's OnHelp event isn't
fired for TGraphicsControls.
