You should take a look at OpenNETCF.org's ApplicationEx class. Writing a
MessageFilter you can intercept WM_HELP messages. Peter Foot has sample
code, written in C# in his blog:
http://blog.opennetcf.org/pfoot/PermaLink.aspx?guid=00908fbe-6900-41ad-95bd-a2aabd83f41a.
It should not be too hard to translate this to VB.NET.
