This window displays the layout of your help file by first showing your contents topic at the top. Below that it has each topic that is linked to the contents topic (these are indented once to the right). This continues with each of these topics until the entire layout of your help file is displayed (like a tree, the contents topic is the root and all of it's linked topics are the branches etc....).

If you use Visual Basic then VB AHA!!! will handle all of the HelpContextID values for you and even recompile your programs with the new values. No more hassles of having to insert the values by hand! If you program in C/C++ then VB AHA!!! will create a .H file containing all of the #defines that you will need for context sensitive help in your programs.

You must have the following files:
HC.EXE - the Microsoft Help Compiler. Only needed to actually compile the Help file, you can still design it without this program.
VBRUN300.DLL - the Visual Basic runtime library.
SHED.EXE - Microsofts .SHG file editor. To make graphics that have hotspots (buttons) on them. Not really necessary.

Or when you register if you leave me a note that you need it, I will send it to you. Please note that this is a Microsoft program and that I am not selling it. I am sending the Microsoft Help Comiler to anyone who requests it free of charge and only as a convenience to my customers (so they don't have to waste their time, and money for a long distance call, to get the Microsoft Help Compiler) I will not even recover the cost of sending it, as it will be placed on a seperate disk from the one containing VB AHA!!! that I am not charging the user for.
