Hi Roger

How can I implement context sensitive help .CHM in express++ application ?

If .CHM file is not supported in Xbase++, How then can we implement help file system in our application for windows Vista/7 ?

Where can I download the best .CHM compiler. Not Microsoft help workshop ?

Unixkd

Run XDEMO.EXE - Sample Group 3 - Help Link.

This uses the HELPCODE clause of each DC* command to provide a link to the Help File that is defined in DCGETOPTIONS.

I have only tested this with *.HLP files, not *.CHM files, but I understand it works just as well with .CHM files.

I hope to find a way to create an EXPRESS.CHM file for the next release.
I am new to this myself.

Found this CHM compiler that is NOT Microsoft and is Free!

http:abeetech.com

They also have decompilers.

Hi,

It is not free! It is a 15 day trial!
See http://abeetech.com/chmmakerpro/register.htm for the conditions.

It is rather cheap.

Hi Roger

I tried the sample program sample 3 helplink, NOT working under windows vista/7

Found another, HTML version
Using FireFox and Google search for CHM Compiler Free

Shalom Help Maker 0.6.1 Beta
.. and lots more. SHM makes old-fashioned hlp files, not chm files (HTML based...editor and you produce the help file with SHM and the help compiler (separate download found on the download page).... Download now

Totally irrelevent comment, but I couldn't help noticing:

Shalom is a Hebrew word meaning hello, goodbye, and peace. The author is named Christianson. Just an intersting observation
