OK - I'll settle for the TWBROWSE WIN32 HEADERS

Thanks again. After much testing it would appear that it is Fast-Help that has the problem and not FWH (sorry about all of that). If I create the help file with Help & Manual it works perfectly (other than the long, very long, copyright messages of course) but if I create the same file with Fast...

I have just done another test: I imported my .hlp file that I created with Help & Manual into Fast-Help, recompiled withoug making any changes, and it (the Fast-Help compiled file) now works perfectly (although I have not tried to add another POPUP type help to it but will do so shortly). Regard...

I feel it necessary to post this message. I would really like to thank Antonio, James, and Enrico for all of their help and advice. The support that I get from Antonio (FiveTech) and Patrick and Ron (xHarbour) is amazing and I would like to thank them for this. Just try and get this level of support...

Hello again, just trying to help :) I have just downloaded and installed Help & Manual to test and it would appear that Help & Manual works correctly. In Help & Manual, what I was referring to as POPUP type help in Fast-Help, is referred to as HIDDEN TOPICS in Help & Manual. It would...

Hi Peter, Are you monitoring my 'Help on Help' thread? I cannot get my context specific help to display correctly ON ANY PC and I have a sneaky suspicion that your problem is somehow related to my problem. When you define your help file are you creating HELP TOPICS or HELP POPUPS? Are you trying to ...

Sorry, but this is a bigger train smash than I thought. If you cannot define context specific help as type POPUP in your help file and all of your help definitions are of type TOPIC then you land up with the following: http://www.fleetfocus.net/software/images/branchhelp.JPG In the above link it wou...

Hi, sorry I forgot to respond to the other messages: Antonio - are those changes to source\classes\control.prg going to be implemented in the next release of FWH or are you giving me a 'custom' fix for now? You know how I like to use 'standard' FWH functions and not 'custom' fixes :) James - I think...

Antonio, thanks for the work and the reply. HOWEVER, there definitely was a HelpID of 2001 in my help file but that was my point: HelpID 2001 was defined IN MY HELP FILE as a POPUP type of help and not as a TOPIC type of help. If I change the help type in my help file from a POPUP type of help to a ...

Follow on after email: In the test that I sent to you the strange thing is that if you change the type of help from 'popup' to 'topic' in the .hlp file itself the heading of the 'topic' is displayed i.e. it is a problem with any context specific HelpID that refers to a 'popup' in the .hlp file. If t...

Thanks very much for the response.

I have created a small test app with all associated files and emailed to you.

Regards,

Dale.

OK - thanks - I will temporarily use one of our websites for images. This code: ReDefine Get ioCode; Var cCODE; ID 101; Of oDlg; Color CLR_BLUE; HelpID 2; Valid ( CheckBranch( cCode ) ) gives you this display: http://www.fleetfocus.net/software/images/helpid2.JPG This code: ReDefine Get; ioNAME; Var...

Hello, Here is the line of code: ReDefine Get ioCode; Var cCODE; ID 101; Of oDlg; Color CLR_BLUE; HelpID 10000; Valid ( CheckBranch( cCode ) ) When pressing F1 a 'blank' popup is displayed i.e. just the small light yellow help popup dialog with no text. If you choose a non-existent HelpID i.e. let's...

Good Morning All!

It would appear that nobody is providing context specific help with their applications?

Regards,

Dale.

Hello,

Quite right - just tested - does the same on all of my dialogs - Cancel Button (with CANCEL clause) when clicked - no problem / Alt-C - big problem - GET is VALIDATED.

Dale.
