True, that's easier if all you want to do is disable helptags. But I'm
assuming that the idea is to give the user an option, which they may choose
to exercise while the window is already open, in which case you'd also need
some way to restore the helptags. Which is why I suggested a subclass/class
interface approach, because that would simplify turning them back on.
