It sounds like you're essentially trying to add context-sensitive help to a WPF application. For example, that if you hit F1 with your cursor in a specific textbox, you'll see help for that specific textbox.

If that's the case, see this article:

or this one:

Specifically, you can accomplish this using the System.Windows.Forms.Help.ShowHelp() command.

You may need to add a reference to System.Windows.Forms.dll to access the Help functions.

Finally, if you're still lost on using Help files, all the info you need should be right here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2ksk25ts.aspx This is all for Windows Forms, of course, but it should carry over to WPF if you have the correct references.
