Hi!

The context sensitive help in JBuilder looks cool. You can click on
the icon and your cursor turns to a pointer with a quesion. You click
on a component and it gives you help about that component.

Now, the question is which way do I have to do it. Can I manually go
in and add code to every control to spawn a popup or can I use the
GlassPane to hook into every component I click in and if I happen to
be in a Context Sensitive mode, spawn up the help application...

Thanks in advance,
Shoban Jeyaraj
