[The Gist: single-source .CHM generated from RH WinHelp 9.2 won't respond
to C# calls; this is a post for RoboHelp and C# guru-types...]
I have a project I created using RoboHelp 9.2 for WinHelp 9.2 Build 534. I
now to use it as context-sensitive help for an application created with C#
(.NET), so I used the Single Source function to generate a .CHM project.
However, the .CHM thus generated will not respond to calls from within the
C# application. The developer can successfully call topics from a test .CHM
that she made on her own.
does not work for my .CHM, but a similar call works for her test .CHM.
So:
-Is it possible to generate a .CHM from my project using RH 9.2 that will
work with C#?
-If so, what calls are *supposed* to work?
-If not, should I upgrade to RH X5, or just to RH Office for .NET?
-And, finally, if I do have to upgrade, can I convert my existing WinHelp
9.2 project into an X5 or .NET HTML Help project that will respond properly
to C# calls?
