The following are ways to receive help in the Microsoft Visual Basic Editor.

The Object Browser
You can use the Object Browser to browse through all the available objects in your project and see their properties, methods, and events. Additionally, you can see the procedures and the constants that are available from object libraries in your project. You can easily display online Help as you browse. You can use the Object Browser to find and use objects that you create, in addition to objects from other programs.

 * 2) On the View menu, click Object Browser (F2), or click Object Browser on the Standard toolbar.
 * 3) In the Project/Library list, select the name of the project or the library that you want to view.
 * 4) In the Classes list, select the class you want.

Use the Member list to select specific members of your class or project.
 * 1) View information about the class or member that you selected in the Details section at the bottom of the window.
 * 2) Click Help (?) on the Object Browser toolbar to display the Help topic for the class or the member that you selected.
