If your developer does not supply you with map files, you can automatically generate them in RoboHELP at the same time you create the aliases for your window-level Help topics.
Click the Project tab and open the Context-Sensitive Help folder.
Right-click the Aliases
icon and select Edit.
The Edit Map IDs dialog
opens.
Specify the map file name. Use one of the following methods:
From Map File, select <Project Map File>. The program creates a map file titled BSSCDefault.h.
Click New
Map File to assign a unique name to the new map file.
Assign the first topic ID. In Topic ID, enter the topic ID. The topic ID refers to the window or dialog in the application that the window-level Help topic explains how to use.
Topic IDs typically start with a prefix such as IDH_, followed by text that identifies the field or control. (Talk to your developer if you are unsure of what to enter in this field.)
After you enter the topic ID, the Map # field displays (Auto) to indicate that the program is auto-generating the map numbers.
Select the window-level Help topic to match with the topic ID. From Topic, select the name of the topic.
To filter the list of available topics, click All Folders and select a custom folder.
To verify the correct HTML file to use, select the topic and click Preview. The topic opens in a preview window.
Click Assign. The alias is created.
Repeat steps 4 – 6 for each alias you need to create.
As you create new aliases, map numbers are assigned to the topic IDs in sequential order, starting with the first available number (1 is the default). Example:
Compile your project so the .CHM file is updated to include the aliases. After that, you can test the window-level Help in the application.
