- I am trying to write a windows help file that includes bitmaps with hotspots on
- them. I have tried to make a popup window link with a hotspot, and all that I
- can get to happen so far is that the popup window get's drawn, erased, and then
- I get a windows help message box stating "Help topic does not exist." I have
- tried using both the macro typewith the PopupId macro as well as the pop-up
- type with the correct string.
- Is there some trick when writing the context string, or am I going
- about this the wrong way? Any suggestions would be really appreciated. I know
- that this type of thing is possible, as the hotspot editor has it in it's help
- file.
- Thanks in advance for the advice. If possible please mail me direct,
- as well as posting, or mail direct and I will post any responses I get. I can
- be reached at zelhart2134@iscsvax.uni.edu.
