Here you can choose if you want to be able to make your own help information on a window in the form of either help buttons or right clicks there open a side bar.

NB: YOU CANNOT USE THE HELP INFORMATION SYSTEM ON UDO WINDOWS.

Help information can be added to:

        Edit text

        Combo box

        Buttons

        Checkboxes

        Columns in matrix and grids (only as right click)

The created help buttons and right click will be shown even if ‘use help information’ is disabled in the toolbox, as this only affects whether it is possible to add, update and delete help information.

You can add help information to an item on a window by right clicking on item and pressing the ‘Add Help Information’ menu or ‘Edit Help Information’ menu if the item already has help information.

NB: you can only add/edit help information if system information is on
