Specifies the name of the default file the application uses to display Help.

Pascal
property HelpFile: string;
C++
__property AnsiString HelpFile;
Description

Use HelpFile to specify a default help file for applications that use the Help system. Either assign a file name to the HelpFile property at runtime, or specify a Help File on the Application page of the Project|Options dialog box at design time. 

The Help system specified by HelpSystem displays help topics from the file specified by CurrentHelpFile. HelpFile supplies the value of CurrentHelpFile unless there is a help file associated with the active form. 

By default, HelpFile is a null string, and the application's Help method ignores attempts to display Help unless the active form has an associated help file.
