HELP_PANEL_ID_SV

A string value representing the integer help ID that specifies the help topic you want displayed if the user presses the F1 key in the message box.

Description

Use this function to create a message box that displays help when the user presses the F1 key. When calling the function, you can select different values for each parameter to get a different message box each time.

For example, specifying MessageYesNo means the message box will present the user with two options: "yes" and "no". These options also determine the possible return values of the function. Because ReplyToMessageWithHelp( ) returns the option the user selected, the possible return values when you specify MessageYesNo are "yes" and "no". (Note: If an error condition occurs, "error" may be returned instead; "error" is always a possible return value.)
