assign chm help topics with HelpContextIDs?

[gabster]

Hi all...

I need to assign some of the topics of my .chm help (HTMLHelp) with certain items on a VB project using the HelpContextID property. How can this be done?

thanks,
gabi.

hi, here u go

==== Create a file alias.h
//// This has alias to the actual html file to be displayed
90_Help = Welcome.html;
0_help = Upload.html;

==== Create a file map.h
/// This has your HelpContextId's (ex 1610)
#define 90_Help 1610
#define 0_help 1000
#define 1_help 1001

open ur HelpProject and click on the HTMLHELP API Information (4th on the right side of the "Project Tab&quot
and add the files)

Assign the HelpContextId's to the controls and set the Project Help file propery to the .chm file
(in the Project-> Properties option)

thanks a lot ufobaby...

Hmm... I think I don't get the part with:

==== Create a file alias.h
//// This has alias to the actual html file to be displayed
90_Help = Welcome.html;
0_help = Upload.html;

What does "90_Help" and "0_help" means?

Also I did that API including (for both tabs - the Map and Alias one - this is another confusion) but I keep getting an "HH_HELP_CONTEXT called without a [MAP] section" - which is not true because I include my id.h file in both the map and alias section...

This is what I use in my vb call:

Private Sub Command3_Click()
With hHelp
.CHMFile = App.Path & "\dumbo.chm"
.HHTopicID = 1000
.HHWindow = "Main"
.HHDisplayTopicID
End With
End Sub

Do you mind if I send my sample .hhp project zipped for a look?

thanks a lot,
gab.
