- Hi,
-
- How often do you find yourself browsing through the
- DeskLib header files when you want to use the DeskLib
- library? Since I've just started using DeskLib, I
- thought a better way to access the documentation would
- be very usefull. As !Zap now also supports the
- wonderfull !StrongHelp help system, I've edited the
- DeskLib headers into a DeskLib help library.
-
- To make !StrongHelp use the help data on DeskLib:
- 1. Run !StrongHelp
- 2. Double-click on the !DLHelp icon
-
- You can also copy the "DeskLib" directory inside
- !DLHelp into !StrongHelp's "HelpData".
-
- There can be problems when DeskLib function names exist
- in other Help libraries too, ie. you get help on
- SWI Wimp_Poll instead of DeskLib's Wimp_Poll. This
- won't be a problem when you select the help pages from
- the DeskLib menu entry of !StrongHelp's iconbar menu.
-
- Alternatively you can turn !DLHelp into a stand-alone
- application by merging !DLHelp's helpfiles in the
- sub-dir DeskLib and !StrongHelp's except the helpfiles.
- But then you don't have help on SWI's 8-(
-
- Note that I just edited the existing documentation of
- DeskLib 2.04 to make it more easily accessable. All the
- intelligent work was done by the DeskLib coders and
- Guttorm Vik. Refer to the DeskLib and !StrongHelp
- documentation for the legal status of this information.
-
- Note: There could be (and probably are) some typos left,
- so when in doubt, check the DeskLib headers!
