How to write a help-assistant like office Assistant?
-
Hi! We are about to add help-functionality to our software. We are interesting in a Assistant like in Office Word. We want to interact between assistand and mainapplication. Like "Press here to open print-dialog" etc. Anyone know about software we can use for this or anyone can give me an approach of how to code this? Ofcourse I prefer a 3rd party solution. Anyone can help?

Do you want it to be two separate applications, or all-in-one? There are many ways to do this. You could (especially if you use two applications) write a value in a file and let the other program respond. If you don't want to use two seperate applications you could use two forms, one with a "clippy" (the word assistant) background and transparency set. Good luck!
