+There are a couple of ways to invoke this behaviour implicitly:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Use the wxDIALOG\_EX\_CONTEXTHELP style for a dialog (Windows only). This will put a question mark
+in the titlebar, and Windows will put the application into context-sensitive help mode automatically,
+with further programming.
+\item Create a \helpref{wxContextHelpButton}{wxcontexthelpbutton}, whose predefined behaviour is to create a context help object.
+Normally you will write your application so that this button is only added to a dialog for non-Windows platforms
+(use wxDIALOG\_EX\_CONTEXTHELP on Windows).

+
+Instances of this class may be used to add a question mark button that when pressed, puts the
+application into context-help mode. It does this by creating a \helpref{wxContextHelp}{wxcontexthelp} object which itself
+generates a wxEVT\_HELP event when the user clicks on a window.
+
+On Windows, you may add a question-mark icon to a dialog by use of the wxDIALOG\_EX\_CONTEXTHELP extra style, but
+on other platforms you will have to add a button explicitly, usually next to OK, Cancel or similar buttons.
