<p>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 class="link" href="GimpDialog.html#gimp-dialog-new" title="gimp_dialog_new ()"><code class="function">gimp_dialog_new()</code></a>,
<a class="link" href="libgimpwidgets-GimpQueryBox.html#gimp-query-int-box" title="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 class="link" href="libgimpwidgets-GimpHelpUI.html#gimp-help-connect" title="gimp_help_connect ()"><code class="function">gimp_help_connect()</code></a>.</p>
<p>In most cases it will be ok to use <a class="link" href="libgimpwidgets-GimpHelpUI.html#gimp-standard-help-func" title="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 <code class="function">gimp_help()</code>. 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 <code class="function">gimp_help()</code> to
actually display the help.</p>

<p>This function invokes the context help inspector.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If the widget the user clicked on has a <em class="parameter"><code>help_id</code></em>
 string attached
(see <a class="link" href="libgimpwidgets-GimpHelpUI.html#gimp-help-set-help-data" title="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
until it finds an attached <em class="parameter"><code>help_id</code></em>
 string (which should be the
case at least for every window/dialog).</p>
