Not sure if it will solve your problem, but worth a look. I have also found these guys very helpful for adhoc queries such as yours when I have been stuck.

Another Help question.
Is there a Delphi command that emulates the pressing of F1 for Help? Application.HelpContext requires a HelpContext parameter but only my main parent controls have HelpContext set.
More Info: I have a PageControl with 5 TabSheets, 1 of the TabSheets contains a further PageControl with 2 TabSheets. I have only set HelpContext on the 6 TabSheets that require help. If F1 is pressed while in a child control on a TabSheet, and that control doesn't have HelpContext set, then it knows to cycle back thru the parents to find one. Can I emulate this on a Button without writing a parent search loop.
I'm also finding that even F1 doesn't work that well. If I simply change tabs and press F1, it still only loads the MainForm help and not the helpcontext for that tabsheet. I have to click in a child control before the helpcontext for the tabsheet works. Any simple way around that?
Cheers,
Ross.
