I'm only guessing, but you're probably wanting a persistent dialog that
cannot go away, however you want the user to click on help for a field.
I've wanted the same...

I've spent some time working on this problem. Here's what I found:

1) I posted a question about the helpbutton twice, no responses.

2) I went to the source (vc++60), and couldn't do it.
I believe its a true windows "must" to have a close with the help.
Try playing around in plain-old-windows things like the "Properties"
window, eg, right-click on a file and click "properties". You'll see
what I mean.

I can, however, have the window with NO decorations (and I do use this
on occasion).

Anyone disagree, please show me the way!

Regards,
-Stuart

Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] Helpbutton event


Dear All,

I have a small demo program where I have added helpbutton property as
follows

use Win32::GUI;

my $dialogbox = new Win32::GUI::DialogBox(
  -name         => 'dialogbox',
  -text         => 'Demo Dialogbox',
  -left         => 300,
  -top          => 120,
  -width        => 300,
  -height       => 150,
  -helpbutton   => 1,
  -maximizebox  => 0,
  -minimizebox  => 0,
  -resizable    => 0,
);

$dialogbox->Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog;

sub dialogbox_Terminate {
  $dialogbox->Hide();
  return -1;
}

sub dialogbox_HelpRequested {

print "Help Help\n";
}

What event does helpbutton icon trigger when clicked on it ?

I tried to use _HelpRequested event but of no use !!

Can somebody tell me which event is triggered ??

Another question is 

Is there any way to disable CLOSE (Terminate) icon on a window ??

The icon should be visible but in disable state !


Any help is hightly appreciated !!

With Best Regards,

Vidyadhar
