Determining if the window is in help mode

Question

Developing a .NET WinForms application: how can I check if the window is in Help mode (i.e. after clicking the "?" button in the title bar)?

The problem I have is that my System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem objects do not have a HelpRequested event (because they do not inherit from Control) so in the Click event handler, I am trying to determine if the window is currently in help mode so I can popup a ToolTip programmatically.

Any help is always appreciated! Thanks

I believe that the Form.HelpButtonClicked event is what you want, since it's in your namespace.
