On any control that can receive a click event, you can add code to test for a boolean condition or such that will toggle ON / OFF whether to bring up a help Like:
If vHelp = 'TRUE' then -- put your code here to launch code for your help -- if you are going to use it extensively, then -- provide a method to pass the control ID or -- some unique ID the identifies the Help to display Else -- Run the Normal Code HERE Endif You would put a Speed Button on the form with the Caption 'Help - ON' that would Toggle to 'Help - OFF' as well as set the vHelp to 'TRUE' or 'FALSE' ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marc" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "RBG7-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 4:24 PM Subject: [RBG7-L] - Re: Right Click on Speed Buttons > Hi Razzak > > I am still in 7.1 and have several forms with Buttons > as menus.
