Display Help Topic With ShellExecute
Previous  Top  Next

The ProCodeBlock class makes it easy to display a HTML help topic with ShellExecute.

Note: This is useful because if you exit the program after the CodeBlock, the help file displayed with ShellExecute will stay open (unlike the topic displayed with the cwHHGlobal topic - which would close with the program).

You can do this by:
·Using the #CODE template  
·Using hand code  


Displaying a HTML help topic with the #CODE Template

To display a HTML help topic with the #CODE template, just insert the template in any embed point (such as the Accepted event of a button or menu selection)

clip0039

Then just enter the name of the help .chm file and topic (without quotes) and click Ok.

That is all there is to it!



Displaying a HTML help topic with hand code

To display a website URL with hand code, use the following syntax:

CodeBlockUtil.CodeBlockShellExecuteHelp( 'CodeBlock.chm', 'Demo.htm' )

or this syntax:

CodeBlockUtil.HelpFile      = 'CodeBlock.chm' 
CodeBlockUtil.HelpFileTopic = 'Demo.htm' 
CodeBlockUtil.CodeBlockShellExecuteHelp()
