Description
The framework can work with different help systems. When the help system is invoked, the framework searches for the Help_Id property of the focussed object in the relevant helpfile.
Set the property to one of the following constants:
| Constant | Meaning |
|---|---|
| htNoHelp (0) | No help system is being used. |
| htHtmlHelp (1) | A HTML help system is being used |
| htWinHelp (2) | A WinHelp help system is being used (OBSOLETE) |
| Col 1 | Col 2 |
|---|---|
| Note: | In addition to setting this property, you should also set the psHelpFile property to the name of the file containing your help. |
Windows Help is obsolete. You are encouraged to build an HTML based help system.
While the class default is htWinHelp, when you create a new Windows project or Windows test project in the studio, it defaults to htHtmlHelp, which is a more modern and appropriate default.
