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)

 

 

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()
