BaseForm.ShowHelp Method

Definition

When overridden in a derived class, displays the Help file.

protected:
 virtual void ShowHelp();
protected virtual void ShowHelp ();
abstract member ShowHelp : unit -> unit
override this.ShowHelp : unit -> unit
Protected Overridable Sub ShowHelp ()

Remarks

You must override this method to display the Help file. The base class method throws a System.NotImplementedException. Implementers should call this method to display the contents of the Help file or a hyperlink to the specified URL. Implementers should check the CanShowHelp property to determine whether the user can view the Help file.

This method enables you to create a customized ShowHelp method.
