I am trying to figure out how to get the "?" in a dialog's title bar. I
may just be missing this somewhere (I hope).
Thanks
Jeff

Look at the window style WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP.

Use the style DS_CONTEXTHELP.

Hi Jeff,

Override the OnInitDialog function and add the following code :-

BOOL BaseDialog::OnInitDialog()
{
    CDialog::OnInitDialog();

    // add context help button
    ModifyStyleEx(0, WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP);

    return TRUE;
}

Hello,

You can specify it from the resource editor. Open your dialog's
properties window and then select the extended styles tab. You will see
a check box for context help. Checking this box will give you the ? in the
title bar.

Jeff,

Use ModifyStyleEx to add the WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP style flag
in the OnInitDialog handler.

     Jeff, 
     
     You need an extended window style of:
     WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP
     
     One way to get this is to Over ride OnInitDialog and add
     the line ModifyStyle(0, WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP ); as in 
     
     BOOL CAboutDlg::OnInitDialog() 
     {
        CDialog::OnInitDialog();
        ModifyStyle(0, WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP );
     
        return TRUE;  // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
                      // EXCEPTION: OCX Property Pages should return FALSE
     }
     
     Regards,

Take a look at the KnowledgeBase articles Q141724 ("SAMPLE:
Context-Sensitive Help in a CDialog Object") and Q149343 ("How to
Implement Context-Sensitive Help for Dialog Controls").

Between the two articles, you'll find pretty much all the info you'll
need to implement correctly. Coincidentally, I just happen to be working
on this very issue. :-)
