Nice one

I think this is the one you gave me :

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt("GuiOnEventMode", 1)
Global Const $SC_CONTEXTHELP = 0xF180

$hGUI = GUICreate("$WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP  -------------------------------> CLICK ?", 400, 300, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_CAPTION, $WS_SYSMENU), $WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP)
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_SYSCOMMAND, "_WM_SYSCOMMAND")
$Dummy = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_Help")

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Exit")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

While 1
    Sleep(250)
WEnd

Func _Help()
    MsgBox(64, "Help", "Help !")
EndFunc   ;==>_Help

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Func _WM_SYSCOMMAND($hwnd, $msg, $wParam, $lParam)
    $wParam = Number($wParam)
    If $wParam = $SC_CONTEXTHELP Then
        GUICtrlSendToDummy($Dummy, $wParam)
        Return ""
    EndIf
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc   ;==>_WM_SYSCOMMAND

Cheers, FireFox.

This is not a control event, but a window event. You need to use the $WM_SYSCOMMAND message used in the examples above.
