This component suite covers every help related task in a Delphi application and completes the help functions supplied by Delphi. 4 powerful components manage context sensitive help, the instant implementation of HTML HELP and training card help:

  • TWhatsThis - automates right-click context sensitive “What’s this?”-help and implements a fully automated context sensitive help mode similar to MS Word. Drop a TWhatsThis component on your main form and instantly enable context help menus for all controls without a single code line. What’s more, it enables right-click help for menu items and gives you full control over the F1 key.
  • THelpRouter - builds a bridge to HTML HELP without extra coding. It manages the translation of help calls and context sensitive help. This component is the successor of the former THTMLHelpRouter. New functions: support for context sensitive HTML HELP popups and mixed-mode help (HTML HELP plus Winhelp popup windows).
  • THelpContextMap - stores help context numbers and their associated topic IDs in a compressed form with ultra-fast searching. It reads help context numbers directly from a help project file (Winhelp and HTML HELP) and is designed to work with TWhatsThis.
  • TTrainingCard - simplifies the implementation of Winhelp training cards. Training card help is a kind of wizard in HLP format that interacts with your application.
