# Step 4 of 6: Associate a topic with the form

## Content



You can also use the **Select Help Topic** dialog box to associate a topic with your form.

1.  Select **Form1** and click the **ellipsis** button next to the **HelpTopic on C1DynamicHelp1** property in the Properties window. The **Select Help Topic** dialog box appears, but notice the **Events** group is different; in this case, it has one check box **Always show default topic first on form open**.
    
    The topic associated with the form is the default topic. It is shown when the control that displays the current topic due to a focus/mouse hover event loses focus/mouse hover. If the check box **Always show default topic first on form open** is checked, the default topic is also shown when the form is opened.
