Dockable Window Help Button

[rjay75]

Is there a way to customize the action or target of the help button in a dockable window?

Hi Rodney,

Did you look at "DockableWindowsEvents.OnHelp Event", this should allow you to perform custom action when the dockable window help button is hit by user.

Regards,

Philippe.

Thanks, I missed that one.

Is there an example of this anywhere. I have wired up the OnHelp event but it doesn't seem to ever fire.

Attached is a simple C# program that demonstrates creating a dockable window and handling the OnShow, OnHide, and OnHelp events for the window.  It's a minimal set of code but hopefully it's fairly obvious from here what you need to do in the event handlers.

Is there a sample for Vb.Net? I tried to convert it to VB.Net but it does not run. Thank you. Georg
