Sure you have noticed when you press F1 while the caret is over a ChartFX keyword (i.e. OpenDataEx (COD_VALUES, 2, 4)) or after selecting a ChartFX property in the Object Inspector nothing happen.
Before going on, I suggest you to get a copy of the updated help files. It's a 12 MB (yes, twelve megabytes!!) zip file availble from Borland (usually very slow link) and others Delphi related sites (like Delphi Super Page, better choice).
To fix this:
1. Unzip CFX_KWF.ZIP (if you are reading this you already did it);
2. Backup \DELPHI 2.0\BIN\DELPHI.HDX;
2. Start \DELPHI 2.0\HELP\TOOLS\HELPINST.EXE;
3. Select File\Open and open \DELPHI~1.0\BIN\DELPHI.HDX;
(Notice: the path is really \DELPHI 2.0\BIN\DELPHI.HDX; but because HELPINST.EXE is a 16 bit app, it does not support long file names, so it display a "DOS compatible name" (8.3 chars) supplied by the OS (Windows95 or WindowsNT 3.51) - if you keyboard doesn't have a ~ key, you can type it holding down the Alt key and typing 126)
4. Now you must see a list of keyword files like:
Keyword files Found in
Delphi.kwf *not found*
ObPascal.kwf *not found*
VCL.kwf *not found*
CWG.kvf *not found*
... ...
5. If the "Found in" column display *not found* like in the above example, you MUST select Options/Search Paths and fill the dialog with the path holding the above .kwf files. Usaully you need only to set it to \DELPHI~1.0\HELP (Long names path: \DELPHI 2.0\HELP).
Keep adding paths separed by ; until all the .kwf files have a valid entry in the "Found in" column;
6. Press the big + button on the button bar, and select the file CFX2OCX.KWF shipped with this README.TXT
7. Select File/Save
8. You did it. Close HELPINST.EXE and launch Delphi 2.0. Drop a ChartFX OCX, select a property from the Object Inspector (better not simply "Name" or "Tag") :) and press F1.
