If the OnHelpButtonClick event is assigned at runtime after the form is shown, the help button isn't displayed immediately, only - for example - after the form gets maximized. Is it correct to call RecalculateCaptionArea to force the refresh of the caption area or is there a better solution?
Ribbon - Assigning the OnHelpButtonClick event handler at runtime doesn't make the Help button visible until the Ribbon control's ViewInfo is recalculated

Hello Denis,
Yes, it is correct way to refresh the title of a Form. Also, I will forward this thread to our developers. We will consider implementing the functionality to refresh the Form's title automatically after assigning the OnHelpButtonClick event handler.
Would you please also clarify why you assign this event handler at runtime?
I have a base class deriving from TdxRibbonForm. This is the base class for all forms and at runtime there is a decision whether there is help for the current form available or not. Depending on that, the help button is made visible (event gets assigned).
