This article was previously published under Q140676 SYMPTOMS
When you use ClassWizard to add a handler for the WM_HELP message, the
message is not listed in the Messages list box. Instead, the message is
listed as WM_HELPINFO.
RESOLUTION
Select WM_HELPINFO to add a handler for WM_HELP.
MORE INFORMATION
Previous versions of MFC define OnHelp as the function to handle the
WM_COMMAND message with ID_HELP. To avoid conflicts with this message
handler, MFC 4.x and higher use OnHelpInfo as the name of the function that
handles the WM_HELP message. So ClassWizard shows the WM_HELP message as
WM_HELPINFO.
