[DUG] Re: Getting a control's helpkeyword

[Paul A Norman]

In case anyone else ever gets stuck on this .. I was looking arond the
Ihelp.. interfaces when in reality it was actually literally in front of my
nose all the time..

All I needed was the Screen object.

under TApplicationEvents.onHelp

this works well, casting to catch non TwinControls that have a helpKeyword

 showmessage((screen.ActiveControl as tcontrol).HelpKeyword);
