SYMPTOMS

When you view the Type library for an object in the Class Browser, and repeatedly click the +/- sign of a node in the right-hand pane, the following error may occur:
Help not available.

CAUSE

The Class Browser is designed to display help for an item when you double- click the item. This is useful when a Type library, for example, contains help information. Rapidly clicking the +/- sign in a Treeview control may fire the double-click event.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  3. Rapidly click the +/- sign next to the lfpolectl object in the right-hand pane.

    The "Help not available" error occurs.
