creating HELP

[cheenu_2002]

Hi,

I would like to create a HELP for my LabVIEW application just like how LabVIEW gives to its users. I just have a HELP menu and I don't know hot to add text and other features to it. Can anyone help me?

Hi,

With the help tools from LV you can open and browse standard (in Windows) CHM-files.

Create them with HTML Help Workshop, htm2chm or similar based on a HTML file.

See the inlined Help of these tools for further help. It's quite easy to make a standard help with TOC:

1. create your document in Word

2. convert it to HTM

2a. maybe you'll have to recreate the TOC for the chm-conversion tool

3. convert your HTM to CHM.

4. in LV supply the path to the created .chm-file to Control Online Help from the Application Control->Help palette
