Getting Help in Borland C++Builder

In Borland C++Builder, you can get Help in the following ways:

Context-Sensitive Help (F1)

Contents Screens

Index

Keyword Search (F1 or Ctrl+F1 in the Edit Window)

Help context menus (in the Help window)

For a list of Help files available in the Help system, refer to Using Help in Borland C++Builder.


Getting context-sensitive Help

You can get context-sensitive Help for items in the Borland C++Builder Integrated Development Environment (IDE). To access context-sensitive Help:

1.	Select the element you want help on (menu, menu command, an item in a dialog box, etc.).

2.	Press F1 or Ctrl+F1.

Help buttons are available on many dialog boxes and for most error messages.

Click Help to view information about:

The entire dialog box

An error message

The current group of topics in an Options settings dialog box


Accessing and using contents screens

Each Help Contents screen offers an entry into a Help system installed with Borland C++Builder. From the Contents, select the category of information that best suits your needs, then click on it.

To display the Borland C++Builder User's Guide Contents screen, choose Contents on the Help menu in the Borland C++Builder IDE.

To access the Help Contents screen from within a topic in the active Help file, click the Contents button.

To access the Help Contents screen of a different Help file installed with Borland C++Builder, right-click and select the name of the Help file you want to view.

To return to a previous topic or Help file, click the Back button.

Using the Contents screen

You can expand books that appear on the Contents screen, or jump directly to a topic. To view a topic, click on it.

Printing from the Contents screen

You can print several topics at once by clicking a book on the Contents screen and then clicking Print.


Using the index

In Help, click the Index tab to view a list of index entries.  Either type the word you're looking for or scroll through the list.


Searching for keywords

Keyword Search gives you direct access to Help about a term in your program. To get help on a term:

1.	In the Edit window, place the insertion point on the term you want help on.

2.	Use one of the following methods:

Press F1 or Ctrl+F1.

Choose Keyword Search on the Help menu.

Choose Go To Help Topic on the Edit Window SpeedMenu.

3.	One of these events occurs:

The topic associated with the term you selected is displayed.

If more than one topic in is available on the term for which you requested Help, the Topics Found dialog box is displayed listing topics associated with the term. Double-click the topic you want to view.

If no Help is available for the term nearest the insertion point, the index is displayed. You can then select a different searching method to locate a topic associated with that term. The term for which you requested Help appears highlighted in the top box. Click the Display button or double-click the term to view the list of topics associated with the term.

To return to a previous topic or Help file, click the Back button.


Printing Help topics

You can print Help topics from the Help Contents screen or from the topic itself.

To print from the help contents:

1.	Display the Help Contents containing the information you want to print.

2.	Select the topic or topics you want to print and click Print. You can also select a book in the Contents to print several related topics at once.

To print from a Help topic:

1.	Display the topic you want to print.

2.	Click Print.  (You can also right click inside the topic and select Print Topic.)


Help Context Menus

All the Borland C++Builder Help files have context menus that you access by right-clicking on the mouse. These menus provide quick access to commands for copying or printing a Help topic, or exiting Windows Help.

The context menus also list additional Help files containing information related to the current Help file. Right-click and select a Help file from the context menu. The Contents screen for that Help file is displayed.


Using Windows Help

More information about using standard Windows Help features is available if you need it. To learn more about the features of Help in Windows 95 and Windows NT, see the following instructions.

If you're already in a Help topic, press F1 to display Windows Help.

Otherwise, for details about using Help in Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0,

1.	Choose Start in the lower left corner of the Windows Desktop, then choose Help.

Windows Help is displayed.

2.	In the Help Contents, open the How To book, then open Use Help.

To choose a book in the Help Contents, double-click it or move to it with the arrow keys and press Enter.

For details about using Help in Windows NT 3.51 (or earlier),

In the Program Manager, choose Help|How To Use Help.


Redistributable Files

When you finish coding your application and are ready to deploy it, you need to determine which files to include to make it run. These files are called redistributable files.

Refer to the file DEPLOY.TXT in the \BCB\DOC directory for a list of files that you can redistribute in accordance with the Non-Nonsense License Statement. DEPLOY.TXT lists the files associated with each application option and specifies where the files need to be installed.

If you have the Professional or Client/Server edition of C++Builder, you can also use InstallShield to help prepare an install program for your application. InstallShield provides options to help you determine and include appropriate redistributable files.
