I'm trying to do something with help which I would have hoped
would be straightforward, but it seems not be so.
I have several applications which are both Windows and Mac. I
have a help tool (Windows based) which generates a .chm file for
Windows and a collection of .html files for the Mac. I've been able to
successfully compile the latter into a Help book. I'm now trying to set
this up so that if the user hits the help keys on a dialog, it opens up
the help with the specific page for that dialog. I have a couple of
problems/questions with this:
1. NSHelpManager does not seem to have a way to open up a page
based upon the file name (just "anchors" and search strings), while
the older Apple Help did. Am I missing something there?
2. Under Windows, if you hit the F1 key, WM_HELP messages are
sent up the chain, so I just have to process that at the desired level.
I was hoping that there would similarly be a showHelp in
NSResponder, but it appears that showHelp always goes straight to
the NSApplication. Is there any way to work get the type of behavior
I need?
Best regards,
Tom Doan
