Re: WinHelp and HELPINFO and Toolbar buttons

My understanding is that the framework handles getting Hover ToolTip hints
to show up from a ToolBar, but not WinHelp.

The situation is that the end-user has clicked on the "What's This ?-Mark"
and then one of the button within one of the four ToolBars. The following
handler has been reached, but the ctrlId and hItem are the same for all of
the buttons in the ToolBar. I'm trying to decipher what code to use for the
call to WinHelp

void CMainFrame::OnHelpInfo(HELPINFO* pHelpInfo)
{
  LONG32 contextType = pHelpInfo->iContextType;
  LONG32 ctrlId = pHelpInfo->iCtrlId;
  HANDLE hItem = pHelpInfo->hItemHandle;
  DWORD contextId = (DWORD)pHelpInfo->dwContextId;
  SHORT keyStateF1= ::GetKeyState(VK_F1);
  SHORT keyStateShift = ::GetKeyState(VK_SHIFT);
  hItem; // just to keep compiler from complaining

  if ((contextType == HELPINFO_WINDOW)
   && (keyStateF1 < 0)
   && (keyStateShift >= 0)) { //User Pressed F1 in dialog, Show Full Help
      OnHelp();
      return;
  }
  if (contextType == HELPINFO_MENUITEM) {
    if (contextId == 0) {
       contextId = ctrlId;
    }
    contextId += HELP_ADD_FACTOR;
  }
  AfxGetApp()->WinHelp(contextId, HELP_CONTEXTPOPUP);
}
