I have been trying and trying and for the life of me can not figure out how to implement help in a cocoa application. I have tried following several tutorials such as http://cocoadevcentral.com/ articles/000072.php, however I have not been successful.

Does any one know of a good tutorial, or some sample code (most prefered) or has any tips on how to implement an html help system for a cocoa application?

Well, it should just work the way the CocoaDevCentral text says it does. You create the HTML files, make sure they look decent in Safari (or if you need pre-Safari 10.2 support, HTMLRenderingLib, but you really want Safari and 10.2.8 there...). Then you add two keys to your dictionary and the "Help" menu should just work.


Can you tell us exactly what you did? Not by pointing to CDC, but by actually writing down the steps as you try to perform them another time, in your own words, including file and window names. Also, what part has "not been successful"? Do you get any errors on the console? Do you get an empty help viewer? Do you get the dialog saying "help is not available"? What? If you don't tell us in more detail what's not working, we can't help you figure out what the actual issue may be.
