Hello,
Does anyone know of a utility that can capture help topic requests to display the topic ID for the topic that an application is requesting?
Thanks,
Mike

Windows chm format. Normally I know the topic ID's because I have them in my code. But for some apps which the source code is not available it would be nice to know which ID is being passed to hh.exe when a Help button of F1 key is pressed. This way I know what ID to use when creating the topic.
Basically I am looking for a utility that would intercept the help request and display the ID of the topic that was being requested.

Michael, here's how to display the Help call in a message box:
1. Download the free utilities from http://www.paulsadowski.com/WSH/cmdprogs.htm
2. Extract Msgbox.exe to your program folder
3. Rename it HH.exe
4. Launch your application and press F1
5. The calling parameters to HH.exe should display in a message box.

Hi,
You can also monitor API calls to a .chm file with the View > HTML Help Messages facility in HTML Help Workshop.
