Repost of How to get Popup Text help to work

T

TWR

I'm developing a small application in Excel where the users are running Excel
97 to Excel XP. I have spent 3 weeks trying to get Text Popups to work, but
have failed. I have assigned the help file in the project properties and
have assigned ContextID's for each control. I have created a help file with
a [TEXT POPUP] section that includes the topic text file as well as the map.h
header file. All of the documentation I have read says that this will work,
except (1) book, that stated "it simply doesn't work".

Currently, I'm using the MouseUp events for the controls and if the right
button is clicked (button=2) then I'm using API calls to get Popup Help Text
from my .chm file. I would like to know if the WhatsThis button in the title
bar is functional and if so, how to make it work.

Thanks
