This is the prototype for all functions you pass as <em class="parameter"><code>help_func</code></em> to the
various GIMP dialog constructors like <a href="GimpDialog.html#gimp-dialog-new"><code class="function">gimp_dialog_new()</code></a>,
<a href="libgimpwidgets-GimpQueryBox.html#gimp-query-int-box"><code class="function">gimp_query_int_box()</code></a> etc.
</p><p>
Help IDs are textual identifiers the help system uses to figure which
page to display.
</p><p>
All these dialog constructors functions call <a href="libgimpwidgets-GimpHelpUI.html#gimp-help-connect"><code class="function">gimp_help_connect()</code></a>.
</p><p>
In most cases it will be ok to use <a href="libgimpwidgets-GimpHelpUI.html#gimp-standard-help-func"><code class="function">gimp_standard_help_func()</code></a> which does
nothing but passing the <em class="parameter"><code>help_id</code></em> string to <a
href="../libgimp/libgimp-gimphelp.html#gimp-help"
><code class="function">gimp_help()</code></a>. If your
plug-in needs some more sophisticated help handling you can provide
your own <em class="parameter"><code>help_func</code></em> which has to call <a
href="../libgimp/libgimp-gimphelp.html#gimp-help"
><code class="function">gimp_help()</code></a> to actually display
the help.

The reason why we don't use <a

impossible to set a <em class="parameter"><code>private_tip</code></em> (aka <em class="parameter"><code>help_id</code></em>) without a visible
<em class="parameter"><code>tooltip</code></em>.
</p><p>
This function can be called with <span class="type">NULL</span> for <em class="parameter"><code>tooltip</code></em>. Use this feature
if you want to set a help link for a widget which shouldn't have
a visible tooltip.</p><p>

This function invokes the context help inspector.

The mouse cursor will turn turn into a question mark and the user can
click on any widget of the application which started the inspector.

If the widget the user clicked on has a <em class="parameter"><code>help_id</code></em> string attached
(see <a href="libgimpwidgets-GimpHelpUI.html#gimp-help-set-help-data"><code class="function">gimp_help_set_help_data()</code></a>), the corresponding help page will
be displayed. Otherwise the help system will ascend the widget hierarchy

case at least for every window/dialog).</p><p>
