This class changes the cursor to a query and puts the application into a 'context-sensitive help mode'. When the user left-clicks on a window within the specified window, a EVT_HELP event is sent to that control, and the application may respond to it by popping up some help.

There are a couple of ways to invoke this behaviour implicitly:
