The DataSourceExplorerView (in org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.ui.dse) first implements the org.eclipse.help.IContextProvider interface, and then it creates an instance of the org.eclipse.datatools.help.ContextProviderDelegate.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="../../../../../projects/dtp/dtp/en/source/c_dialog_implementation_example.html">Dialog Implementation Example</a></strong><br/>
Dialogs must set the help context in the createDialogArea method (to provide context-sensitive help for the dialog itself).</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="../../../../../projects/dtp/dtp/en/source/c_helpkey_constants_interface_class.html">helpKey Constants Interface Class</a></strong><br/>
To reference the externalized help context IDs, which are defined in a ResourceBundle properties file, UI components must implement an interface class to declare the abstract helpKey constants.</li>
