    Adding help files

    I am trying to add "Help" support to my project which I built without clicking the magic button "Context-Sensitive Help". I wonder is there a way that I can add Help support (such as MakeHelp.bat, MyHelp.rtf, etc.) without re-creating a new project. Any idea is appreciated!

    Regards,

    Thomas

    Re: Adding help files

    What you have to do is write your document in
    RTF format .Get HCRTF utility of MS dev to make the rtf into an hlp file.
    Of coursse to allow for indexing you need to put tags into your RTF file prior to hlp conversion.
    Get a book like Programming Microsoft Visual C++ 5th ed by Kruglinski and read more about placing tags in the RTF...
    then
    ::WinHelp(m_pMainWnd->m_hWnd, "MyApp.hlp", HELP_CONTENTS, 101)

    Good luck
