Creating context-sensitive Help

The way you create context-sensitive Help depends on the kind of Help you need to create. Three different methods are available for Windows applications that use HTML Help:

Notes:

  • Context-sensitive HTML Help is compatible with applications developed in C and C++.

  • Microsoft HTML Help supports aliases, text-only topic files and What’s This? Help. These types of context-sensitive Help topics are created as part of HTML Help projects in RoboHELP and compiled into .CHM files.

  • The Project Manager includes a special Context-Sensitive folder for working with text-only topic files, map files, and aliases. The right-click menus for each of these items displays specific commands.

  • What's This? Help Composer only works with applications created in C and C++.
