Hi All,

It was fairly 'easy' to implement the "What's This" Help arrow in MFC, but
now I'm stumbling around trying to implement it in .NET, so...

1) If there's a good example of how this is done, please let me know.

2) Currently, I'm capturing the mouse (so I don't lose the "What's This"
arrow cursor), but I need to 'sense' the Control that I click on in the
Form. I'm in a View, so the focus is screwed up (because I'm 'captured' w/r
to the MainForm).

Any useful feedback is appreciated,

SteveH

Hey Rami,

Most impressive (sincerely). I never thought that I'd get a 'real' answer
on this one, since I've been posting it on-and-off for over 6 months.

Very Many Thanks!
