Online help in application built with C++ Builder 20062007-09-01 06:39:16 PM cppbuilder28 Dear Friends, Excuse me if this is not the right list for my question. I have made an application with C++ Builder 2006 Pro, and a help file (WinHelp) with a proper tool. My OS is Windows XP Pro. I have set the helpfile option in Project Options and the HelpContext property of a TEdit control to a valid value for my help file. But when I press F1 for this TEdit (runntime, of course) I get this exception: Project ABC.exe raised exception class EHelpSystemException with message 'No context-sensitive help installed'. Have you any clues? Thanks in advance, Sotiris. |

I have to add that a simple test program in Delphi 2006,
(that uses Unit WinHelpViewer) with the same help file works perfectly! Something I missing, I think :-( |

Users can download a WinHelp program for MS Vista, but I think this isn't a good and convenient solution for the users of your application. I switched to .chm files for the help files, and I would suggest the same to you. The HtmlHelp control has it's own vagaries, but keeping on .hlp format makes no sense. -- Jens Hoetger ->www.scribblepapers.de.vu |
