When using MDI windows, you can specify the help text that is to be displayed on the status bar by typing in the MicroHelp property. Enter text for each menu item so that it will be displayed when the menu item is selected.
The advantage of MicroHelp over PowerTip is that Microhelp appears on the status bar no matter how the functionality to which it is attached to is invoked (by a mouse or a keyboard). The PowerTips are restricted to appear only when the mouse pointer comes to rest over the appropriate icon.
We will explain ShiftToRight in the Menu Inheritance session and MergeOption & Type Option in the OLE session.
