F1 obscures modal form

Unread post by G. Scherings »

Hi,

A basic question perhaps, being new to H&M compiled help (and to helpfiles generally).

In my Delphi application, pressing F1 for contexthelp on a modal form is somewhat erroneous.

While showing the right contexthelp, it
1) also obscures the modal form and
2) on leaving the Help, the modal form, still having the focus, can only be un-obscured by navigating to the application using Alt-Tab.

Any suggestions as to what is happening here and how it can be circumvented are appreciated.

TIA
Gerard.
