When the user selects a help button, the associated help file is located at the indicated topic. Selecting a help button does not remove the dialog. Similarly, no actions are sent to the dialog procedure when a help button is selected.
When a help button is present within a dialog, it can be automatically selected by pressing the help key (F1 on most platforms).
