 Please help on how to show a help window on clicking a dialog button
Dear friends,

I have a VC++ application with dialogs and context sensitive help.
However, I want to enable the user to see specific help by clicking on a
button (various buttons according to where in the application he is).
Upon clicking the button I want the application to open a separate small
window that will help the user with that specific portion of the
application.

Where can I read to do this? Is it easy? ( I am quite new to VC++). Can
you offer me some guidelines, if it is a straight-forward procedure? I
would appreciate it very much.

Thank you very much,
Elias
