I'm converting an app from D6 to BDS2006. The old app worked fine when it
requested a display the windows help file using the following TApplication
methods:
Application.HelpCommand(HELP_FINDER, 0);
Application.HelpCommand(HELP_PARTIALKEY, Longint(EmptyString));
Application.HelpCommand(HELP_CONTEXT, Technical_Support);
Application.HelpContext(HelpContext);
and
Application.HelpCommand(HELP_QUIT, 0); when the app ends.
HELP_FINDER should display help topic zero, which is my help contents topic
number, but does nothing -- no help display, no exception.
HELP_PARTIALKEY should display the help topic search functionality, but does
nothing -- no help display, no exception.
HELP_CONTEXT (in both forms) should display the help topic passed in the
var, but raises an EHelpSystemException, "No context-sensitive help
installed".
The help file value is set for the app and the help file is in the app
executable's starting folder. The help file is a standard Win9x .hlp file
along with the usual .cnt contents file.
Your help will be appreciated.
