<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>A  <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.C1DynamicHelp.MapItem.html">MapItem</a> object specifies a help topic to display and a user action that causes the display (control getting focus,
mouse hovering). This dictionary can be created at design time and persisted as part of the form (called <i>static</i> mappings),
or at run-time (using the controls <i>authoring mode</i>) and persisted as an XML file (called <i>dynamic</i> mappings).</p>
<p>This property enables you to obtain a reference to the topic map items that are currently stored in the C1DynamicHelp.
With this reference, you can add items, remove items, and obtain a count of the items in the collection. The <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.C1DynamicHelp.C1DynamicHelp.TopicMap.html#C1_Win_C1DynamicHelp_C1DynamicHelp_TopicMap">TopicMap</a> 
class has members that allow users to check whether the map has changed since it was created and to persist the map to and from XML.</p>
