What's this? Help

What's this? Help is supported in Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows NT 4.0. You can gain
access to What's this? Help messages in any of the following ways:

Right-click a control and then click What's this?. A pop-up Help window appears.

Click the ? button at the upper-right corner of the frame, next to the X, to change the cursor to an
arrow with a question mark. When you use this special cursor to select a control, the pop-up
Help window for that feature appears.

Press the

F1

key, and the Help window for the currently selected control appears.

Context-sensitive Help

When you press the Help button on a driver tab or in a dialog box, a context-sensitive Help message
appears.

Incompatible Options messages

Incompatible Options settings (constraint) messages are unsolicited messages that appear in
response to specific actions that you take. These messages alert you to selections that are illogical
or impossible given the capabilities of the product or the current settings of other controls. For
example, if you click Print on Both Sides and then change the media type to Transparency, a
message appears asking you to resolve this conflict.

A typical constraint message with an OK button

Whenever a constraint message appears with the OK or Cancel button, the interpretation of the
button is as follows:

Clicking OK accepts the change that was just made, and the driver then resets the conflicting
control to a setting that is compatible with the new value.

Clicking Cancel rejects the change that was just made, and the control returns to its previous
value.

Bubble Help

Bubble Help features a graphical icon that resembles a cartoon speech bubble with a lowercase "i" in
it, representing the international symbol for information. The following illustration shows a Bubble
Help icon on a driver tab.
