Open the project in RoboHELP that will include What's This? Help.
From the File menu, select New - What's This? Help project. The What's This? Help Composer New Project Wizard opens.
Select the name of the application for which you want to create What's This? Help. This is the name of the executable file (.EXE), dynamic link library (.DLL) or ActiveX control (.OCX).
Click Browse.
In Files of type, select the file format.
Navigate to the drive/folder that contains the application, and double-click to select it.
Click Next. The name of the What's This? Help project file and location are displayed. All What's This? Help Composer projects are titled "CONTEXT.TXT" and are saved in the same folder where your HTML Help project is located.
Click Next. The names of all files containing dialogs for your application are displayed. These files are in the same folder as the application (or they are called by the application). The files listed are included in the What's This? Help project. If you do not want to use some of the files that are displayed, you can remove them. If you are unsure about what files to use, consult your application developer.
Click Next. What's This? Help Composer can automatically generate Help topics for the default buttons such as OK and Cancel. This feature automates the task of creating common topics that are used repeatedly in dialogs and saves you authoring time.
If you want to include these topics, select Yes, create default Help text for this project.
Click Finish. The application's files are scanned and a database of information is generated. After a few moments, the new project opens in What's This Help Composer and a summary report is displayed. You can view this report, copy it to the Windows Clipboard, and print it.
When you finish working with the summary report, click OK. All the components of the dialogs and windows are identified in the Dialog Boxes pane on the left side of the window. You can start authoring What's This? Help topics. When you want to return to RoboHELP and work on the HTML Help topics, save the What's This? Help project and exit from the program.
