What is Context Sensitive Help?
| Windows Context Sensitive Assistance Menus |
|
Information about where you are in the application, which is not where you want to be. Often describes how to use the mouse and the menus to select things you don't want (required in User Friendly software). In many programs, when you request help, you are provided assistance on the operation you area carrying out at the time. That is, Help is "sensitive" to the "context" in which assistance was requested. In Windows, it is possible to write application software which detects where the mouse cursor is positioned on the screen and to bring up menus, (normally by clicking the right hand mouse button) that relate to information displayed at that point on the screen. |
