- GetHelp was written because I didn't want to write down what each control
- or form used as a helpcontextid. I save all my forms as text, so
- writing a program to look at those forms and produce a file that I could
- just #include in the help project file seemed like an easy thing to do.
- It was easy and imminently useful. If this program is run before you
- actually write the help file, things go easier.
-
- After running GetHelp, you will see two files, HelpID.txt and HelpID.H.
-
- The text file is a summary of all the controls that have a helpcontextid
- in the program. The include file generates a name for the help topic
- that you must use as the topic name for the help file.
-
- For example, if the form's name is Form1, and the control's name is
- Control1, then the help id for that control is id_Form1_Control1. So in
- the help file, you use id_Form1_Control1 as the topic, and anything you
- want for the search and keyword information.
-
- Under the [MAP] section of the .hpj file, just include the file like so:
- #include <helpid.h>.
-
- Enjoy, and any comments are welcome.
