WM_HELP is the windows message that is sent to a window when the F1 key is
pressed.
ID_HELP is a MFC specific resource id definition from microsoft, much like
IDOK, that can be mapped to a menu item or button.

I believe there are detailed descriptions of each one of those in MSDN.

I'm not sure what overloading CPropertySheet means.
But you have to create CPropertySheet derived class, and catch it there.

yes ok; vocabulary mistake.
I've put ON_MESSAGE(WM_HELP, &Wizard::OnHelpMessage)
with LRESULT Wizard::OnHelpMessage(WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam)
and it works.

What I find strange, is in the manual of CWinApp::OnHelp (http://
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8874ckw0(VS.80).aspx ) it's written
"Usually you will also add an accelerator-key entry for the F1 key.".
So I thought first I just have to put ON_COMMAND( ID_HELP, OnHelp ).
But it didn't work. So what is the difference between WM_HELP and
ID_HELP?
