Re: apple help

Typically, that error message means that you didn't set up any help-related keys in your Info.plist or InfoPlist.strings files, or you did, but something's wrong, and when AppKit goes to use those keys to register your help with and open your help in Help Viewer, it gets an error back from the Apple Help APIs its calling.

Things to check:

1) You must have CFBundleHelpBookFolder defined to be a string value that matches the name of the folder full of help content that's in your Resources/ section of your application package.

2) You must have CFBundleHelpBookName defined to be a string value that matches the contents of the AppleTitle meta tag in your main (entry point) help file.

3) As implied above, your help must be in a folder, readable and executable by all users who can launch your application, in the Resources/ section of your application package (either in the non-localized section, or any/all of the .lproj folders).

Check out /Developer/Documentation/Apple Help/Tutorial/ for more information.

I want to make apple help for my cocoa applicaiton, however, even I followed
the homepage below:
http://www.cocoadevcentral.com/tutorials/showpage.php?show=00000051.php
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2001/05/25/mac_help.html

When I click the help menu, the pop up message is "Help isn't available for
Myapp", and of course my application help is not listed in the help center.
I've stuck for a few hours here. May you teach me how to solve?Thanks
