VS_MakeHlp() Create context help screens after compile
Description:
VS_MakeHlp allows the developer to design a help screen after the
application has been compiled. Help screens can be changed at any
time after the compilation of the program as the screens are kept in a
database file.
Syntax:
SET KEY n_Key TO VS_MakeHlp
Pass:
Nothing
Return:
Nothing
Notes:
In order for VS_MakeHlp to work you must first call VS_InitHlp() and
the filename you specified in your call to VS_InitHlp() must exist in
the default directory. This "key file" is so your users will not be
able to modify the help screens after the application is finished. To
go back and edit help screens, merely create the "key file" and invoke
VS_MakeHlp.
Example:
SET KEY 291 TO VS_MAKEHLP && ALT-H
Usage:
When this routine is called, you will see a box appear on the screen.
You should size the box using the technique described in VS_Coord. At
this point you may edit the help text as you wish. When you are done,
press Ctrl-W.
