Help topics are usually linked to different elements (dialogs, views) of your app. Here's what I do (which is slightly different from MS' process):* For every dialog (eg:
CMyDialog), define a unique constant (eg:Help_MyDialog). Keep these constants in the fileMyAppHelp.h. Include this file as a map in your HtmlHelp project. Ids in the file will map to your.chm's topic ids.- Add a "Help" button to your dialog. It's handler should execute this:
HWND hWndHelp = HtmlHelp (NULL, strHelpFile, HH_HELP_CONTEXT, Help_MyDialog);wherestrHelpFileis the full path to your app's.chmfile. - Add a handler for the
WM_HELPINFOmessage. This message is sent whent the user clicks the F1 key. In its handler, just call your Help button handler. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com
