HelpEventArgs::Handled Property
Gets or sets a value indicating whether the help event was handled.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Property Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if the event is handled; otherwise, false. The default is false.
If you do not set this property to true the event will be passed to Windows for additional processing.
The following example demonstrates handling the HelpRequested event to display custom Help content on a form containing four address fields. The HelpRequested event is raised either by pressing the F1 key with the focus in an address field, or by the using the context-sensitive Help button and clicking the Help cursor on an address field. The Handled property is set to true to indicate that the HelpRequested event is handled. The example also demonstrates storing the Help text in the Control::Tag property.
