Step 1: Prepare a .h file

You should prepare a header file (.h file) for your context-sensitive help.

This .h file contains the following define statements:
#define IDH_FILE_NEW  1  #define IDH_FILE_OPEN  2  #define IDH_FILE_SAVE  3
IDH_FILE_NEW, IDH_FILE_OPEN, IDH_FILE_SAVE are help context IDs of interface elements.

You can use any text editor to edit this .h file.

Tip: If you want to connect Context Sensitive HTML Help to Visual C++ programs, you can also use the resource.h of your project to replace this header file.

Step 2: Import this .h file

Import this .h file to your Fly Help project.

  1. On the toolbar, click to display the Help Context ID Mapper window.

    -Or-

    From the View menu, select Help Context ID Mapper.
  2. Click Import .h File.

Tip: Click Reload .h File button to refresh this .h file if it is modified by other editors.

Step 3: Assign topic files to Help Context IDs

To assign a topic or a .html file to a Help Context ID, simply drag an entry from the visual TOC Designer (in Contents window, see Figure 1) or the visual Index Designer (in Index window, see Figure 2) or the Files List (in Files window, see Figure 3) and drop it onto a corresponding Help Context ID.

Step 4: Compile to CHM

  1. From the Tools menu, select Compile to CHM.

    -Or-

    On the toolbar, click Compile to CHM.
