HTML Help System

Version 1

 

This is an example of how to create an HTML Help System within Future Basic. Thanks to the versitility of FB we can create this system. Much of this code has been used in former programs, dowloaded from the FB site, included on the CD or otherwise cobbed together. If significant pieces come from individuals.... my apologies... the knowledge of who was responsible or contributed was lost long ago.

There are three major parts to this system

1. Creating and maintaining a list of help topics that can be updated, changed and selected.

2. Displaying the chosen topic using HTML calls.

3. Displaying icons as tools on the top of the window.

 

In addition we have included code to print the selected topic or the whole range of topics. While these routines have worked well for me, I am sure they need a lot of tweaking and I have probably broken numerous rules that I don't even know about.

For that reason this code is released into the public domain without restrictions in the hope others will modify/improve and feed back their changes.

I will keep the mose recent version I create or others provide on my web site. . Go to http://www.dabsoftware.com/Dowloads .
