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:
Window-level Help: Create aliases for window-level Help topics by matching topic IDs (and their corresponding map numbers) to each window-level Help topic in your project. You can import a developer-supplied map file to use with the aliases or you can auto-generate the map file as you create the aliases in RoboHELP.
Text-only topic files: Create text-only topic files for What’s This? Help. You create the topic, author the topic content, and assign the topic ID (and its corresponding map number) all at the same dialog. You can import a developer-supplied map file to use with the text-only topics or you can auto-generate the map file as you create the text-only topics in RoboHELP.
What’s This? Help Composer: This program is copied on your system when you install RoboHELP. It is another tool for creating What’s This? Help. It provides many special features to help you quickly create text for the fields and controls in your dialogs. You open a new What’s This? Help project in RoboHELP and author content in What’s This? Help Composer. It generates all your topics, assigning topic IDs in the process to save you and your developer time. This program automatically generates a single text-only topics file (CONTEXT.TXT) and a single map file (CONTEXT.H).
