asked on
OLE, WIN32 and so on in the Delphi3 help ?
Hi
Can anyone tell me why Ole.hlp, Win32.hlp and so on is not available to me via Delphi3's help? At least I cannot under 'Index' seek after 'GetKeyboardState' (It is in Win32.hlp) or 'IRootStorage' (It is in Ole.hlp)!!! What decides what keywords there are in 'Index' and how do I get all the keywords from both delphi3.hlp, ole.hlp, win32.hlp and so on in 'Index' at the same time ??? It works in my Delphi2 !
As you can see belove Ole.hlp and Win32.hlp are linked in Delphi3.CFG. Can anyone tell me generally where I can learn more about how to configure help-enviroments.
This is a copy of my Delphi3.cfg:

; How to add third-party help
;-------------------------
; Third-party developers who would like add their own
; context-sensitive help in the Delphi IDE are required to do the following:
; 1) Add a Link statement referencing their help file to the "Third-Party Help"
; section of DELPHI3.CFG. Example: :Link 3RDPARTY.HLP
; 2) Add an Include statement including this file, DELPHI3.CFG, in their
help files .CNT file. Example: :Include DELPHI3.CFG
; Note: In addition to steps listed above, third-party help developers will
; need to add A footnoting support to their help files. Please refer
; to the Delphi Help system for more information.

steff,
I'm not really sure, but if you want to add the help-files into the index search you've to add the .cnt file.
I believe the .cfg just links them... you know when a new component has a property of an anscestor then clicking on this will bring you to the vcl.hlp ....
But I'm not really sure, because I 've never figured this out.
Zif.

Delphi3.cfg itself claims that it is there for " Third-party developers who would like add their own context-sensitive help in the Delphi IDE ... "
Thanx again - Steff
