Subject:Field Level HTML Help From:"Carolynne Robertson" <CRobertson -at- FDMSOFT -dot- COM> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Mon, 10 Mar 2003 09:28:14 -0800
We have an HTML help system built using Robohelp 2002. Our application
is built in Delphi 6.0.
Does anyone know if I can build field level help for a Delphi app (or
"What's This help," as Robohelp calls it) using Robohelp 2002?
The Robohelp documentation is vague. It states that the Whats This Help
Composer can only be used for C or C++ applications or Visual Basic
apps. It doesn't clarify if field level help can be built for other apps
using another method. Indeed, I tried using the Whats This Help Composer
and it didn't work on my executable. But I'm wondering if the Text Only
Topic method can be used to create field level help?
