If dynamic help is not available for a certain box that you have the focus on, the help button should be grayed-out instead of confusing the user by not doing anything when you click on the help button.
Not sure if we want to do it this way or not - context-sensitive help isn't the only thing useful when you click the help button. You can also see the table of contents, search, and browse the keyword index.
Perhaps just the help button for Dynamic Help should be grayed-out and not the entire help feature such as table of contents, search, and browse? The user can still have access to those features but just not through the Dynamic Help button.
That's what I was referring to actually.. the help tray that appears inside the dialog. If the user is at page 7 of 8 of a long and complicated wizard, they would need to completely cancel out (and later start over) in order to get to Help -> Help Contents, however with the help button they could keep the wizard up while browsing.
This is in TrayDialog.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
