Geodetic Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) Greetings to all, Geodetic (newcomer) here, I have been putting together an application with a help file, and hit walls when it came to integrating help! A search of the forums turned up some hints, but also a lot of problems. So my last little while has been involved in putting together my HtmlHelp UDF - a fairly complete UDF for implementing help in your AutoIt applications. It provides functionality for Help file tab control (Contents, Index, Search) displaying topics by ID or by URL (in the CHM file) Popup creation and control etc. I have included some example files as well, but the real package is a little to large to include here, so you can download it from my personal site. The download link is here. Sorry, this link has been void since Shaw (my Internet provider) retired (like in Blade Runner!) personal webspace. Hope some find this useful! HtmlHelp UDF.zip Update (2021-01-25) I have updated the UDF (almost no changes to the actual UDF au3 file) as a kit, which includes a real AutoIt demo, detailed (compiled HTML) help file, original (but modified) sample files, more information and a few tools. This kit should be used instead of the above UDF link. The new demo and help file should simplify understanding how to implement help! I have not talked about actual creation of compiled HTML help - that is a topic best left to the user, particularly concerning the ancient HTML Help Workshop (compiler). It's old, but it's free, and it works! I'm happy to see that this post is now listed on the Wiki UDF page! - Allen AutoIt Html Help UDF Kit v1.3.zip Edited January 25, 2021 by Geodetic update, void download link Zedna, TheSaint, mLipok and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedna Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Very nice/useful UDF!! I'm curious why there is no response for such long time. It's also very handy as tutorial about HTMLHelp (CHM) background for developers. I will definitely use it one day ... It's question if this UDF should be include in standard includes ... Just one possible problem could be with Send() for Alt+underscored letter used in _HH_DispSearch(). I doubt if this will work on non-english Windows where can be underscored diferent letters.

TheSaint Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Can only agree with Zedna. Thanks for sharing! Make sure brain is in gear before opening mouth! Remember, what is not said, can be just as important as what is said. Spoiler What is the Secret Key? Life is like a Donut If I put effort into communication, I expect you to read properly & fully, or just not comment. Ignoring those who try to divert conversation with irrelevancies. If I'm intent on insulting you or being rude, I will be obvious, not ambiguous about it. I'm only big and bad, to those who have an over-active imagination. I may have the Artistic Liesense to disagree with you.
