Helping Users

Complex applications should include assistive coding to help users during operation. This may include traditional Help files and ToolTips to provide specific help for individual components . Accessibility planning might include details such as high-contrast monochromatic (black and white) display and alternate methods for data output, such as Braille text readers. User assistance and accessibility are two related but different topics:

• User assistance is the process of providing help within an application.

• Accessibility refers to designing and building your application so that it is usable by those with disabilities .
