Update aliases when the following situations occur:
The Help topic does not open (or the wrong topic opens) when you are testing your Help at a window or dialog.
The developer made changes to the application that affect your existing aliases or topic IDs.
You test your Help with BugHunter and a message indicates that BugHunter cannot find the map number in the .CHM file or the HTML topic in the .CHM file.
Note: If you are using BugHunter to test aliases, right-click the map number and select Update Alias to open the dialog. By default, the topic ID and map number are automatically selected.
Click the Project tab.
From the File menu, select Aliases. The Edit Map IDs dialog opens.
From Map
File, click and select the map file that includes
the topic ID used with the alias. All topic IDs and map numbers are listed
below it.
Blue icons indicate topic IDs that are matched to HTML files in your
project. If you pause the mouse over a blue icon, a popup displays the
name of the .HTM file (window-level Help topic) that is matched to the
topic ID.
Yellow icons indicate topic IDs that are not matched to any HTML files
(aliases do not exist). If you pause the mouse over a yellow icon, a popup
displays the topic ID and map number without a window-level Help topic
(to indicate that it is not matched to a .HTM file).
Select the topic ID you need to update from the list.
It is displayed in Topic ID and its corresponding map number appears in the Map # field below it.
If it is matched to a window-level Help topic, the HTML file is selected at the Topic list.
From the Topic list, select the correct window-level topic to match to the topic ID.
Click Assign. The topic ID and HTML file are matched and the alias is updated (or created) in the .ALI file.
Repeat steps 3 - 6 for each alias you need to update.
Compile your project to update the .CHM file and test the window-level Help topics with the application.
