Hi,
I learned via the cppbuilder.language.cpp newsgroup that chm files are not
natively supported in VCL and that I have to do it manually.
Also, that follow questions should be posted in this group ... 'et voila'.
I also checked out this suggestion :
>> Check out http://helpware.net They have some Pascal sources you can
>> install which will allow easy access to chm help files. Examples &
>> all.
Which seems about THE solution for my problem.
Still one big burning question :
- Are there systems where html is not supported ?
- In case yes, which ones ?? Win95 ? Win98 default installation ??
- How can I easily detect if a system can handle chm files or not ?
- I would like to use hlp files on systems that do not support chm files.
- Some sort of dynamic check that determines whethere the hlp or csm file
needs to be used.
- Example 2 in the hhcode_and_exe BCB code examples (which can be
downloaded http://helpware.net) supposedly has a check but it doesn't work.
E.g. on my system it says chm is not supported while it definately
works (at least when I double click a chm file) !! (I run Win98 SE)
Any help is greatly appreciated !!
