procedure TForm1.FormHelp1WhatsThis(Sender: TObject;  
  HelpControl: TControl; MousePos: TPoint; var ShowPopup,  
  ShowHelp: Boolean);  
begin  
  if HelpControl is TLabel then  
   begin  
    ShowPopup := False; // don't invoke "What's This?" for all labels  
    if HelpControl = Label1 then  
     ShowHelp := True; // show the context-sensitive help for "Label1" on right click  
   end;    
end;
