Hi There,

A colleague of mine has been trying to point RoboHelp's WTHC to the
executable of an app developed in Visual Foxpro. The WTHC tells me there are
no dialogs in the application -- but the application has literally hundreds
of dialogs.

We've done a bit of research, and apparently you *can* implement What's This
help in a FoxPro app. Before I go and talk to the developers, can anyone
suggest reasons why the WTHC doesn't want to help?

Regards,
Andrea

You do have to update the dll list and manage any movement of code from one
dll to another. But, you get a list of changes for each update. It's quick
and painless. And, you don't have to wait until the end to find out, or wait
for a programmer to tell you about changes."
