TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
In the near future I'm writing online help for a touch screen application.
I've come up with a few considerations I must take care of:
1. Buttons must be large enough to "touch" so I may have to remove the
button bar and replace it with larger buttons on the screen.
2. Users must be able to touch any hotspots. I'm not sure if the means I
should use a larger font for hotspot words.
If anyone has any words of wisdom on help for this type of application I
would like to hear them. I'm especially interested in the possibility of
context-sensitive help but not sure how this could be implemented.
The touch screen application is written in C++.
Thanks in advance,
