Setting up our Delphi 6 project for CHM

Unread post by Dean Vincent »

We are creating a project in Delphi 6 - we like the format of the CHM HTML help - all the documentation about configuring your project to accept help file revolves around HLP files. Is it as easy to set up as pointing to the CHM as it is the HLP? Is not, anyone have documentaiton that I can put in front of our developers to help the learning curve?

Thanks

It is if you use 3rd-party components like EC Software Help Suite on http://www.ec-software.com/comppage.htm

The built-in help function (F1) of Delphi 6 does not support popup topics but if you use the TWhatsThis component from EHS in conjunction with THelpRouter (responsible for HTML HELP), you have the functionality back.
