Hello,



I do not understand some things with Delphi7 help system.

I install new vcl which has their help files (hlp, cnt files).

Using OpenHelp tool I install these help files.

When I press F1 on a property or event or on selected code of the vcl I get
message that such topic is not founded.

On Delphi6 everything works fine. By the way vcl are for D7/D6.



I install like this:

I put cnt file into OpenTool Contents tab and in two other Index/Link tabs I
put hlp file.



Moreover I have noticed that on some properties help works and I get help

topic while on other I do not. All properties and events are described and
indexed in help file.



It happens with other vcl too.



Maybe anyone could suggest what's wrong and what to do?



I am using Delphi7 Enterprise without updates. Is there any updates for
Delphi7?



Thanks in advance



Regards,

Tomas

Delphi 7 Openhelp really sucks. Anyway, try the following

Go to BorlandDelphihelp path and delete every GID found there. These
files are hidden so use Win explorer or "del *.GID /f /a" using prompt.
That's all.

Ted
