Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Place the following code in a program (.prg) file and run the program:

        oForm=CREATEOBJECT("test1")
        oForm.VISIBLE=.T.
        READ EVENTS

        DEFINE CLASS test1 AS FORM
           NAME="test1"
           WHATSTHISHELP=.T.
           ADD OBJECT 'btnClose' AS COMMANDBUTTON

        PROCEDURE INIT
           THIS.btnClose.LEFT=50
           THIS.btnClose.TOP=100
           THIS.btnClose.HEIGHT=20
           THIS.btnClose.VISIBLE=.T.
        ENDPROC

        PROCEDURE btnClose.CLICK
           CLEAR EVENTS
           RELE THISFORM
        ENDPROC
        ENDDEFINE

2. When the form displays, press SHIFT+F1 to turn on WhatsThisHelp.

3. Move the mouse cursor over the title bar of the form.

Notice that the mouse cursor changes to the default pointing cursor. If you click
the title bar, WhatsThisHelp still functions. In Visual FoxPro 3.0, clicking the
title bar invokes the Microsoft Visual FoxPro Help. In Visual FoxPro 5.0, a tool
tip box appears with the following:
