 |
|
Per previous requests for assistance, I got a bunch of info about WinAPI, etc. The help files are
located in c:Program FilesCommon FilesBorland SharedMSHelp. I'm using WinME.
Yesterday, I could use C++Builder Help to find "DeviceIoControl". Today, I can't.
What's going on?
If I just open c:Program FilesCommon FilesBorland SharedMSHelpwin32.hlp, I can find what I want.

Walt,
Here's an example of how to add Win32.hlp to the C++Builder IDE's Help
system:
--------------------
To add the Win32 Help files to the C++Builder 6 IDE, do the
following...
#1.
Navigate to the Borland SharedMSHelp directory and open WIN32.CNT in
Notepad. Copy the following lines:
:INDEX Win32 Programmer's Reference = WIN32.HLP
:INCLUDE WIN32SDK.CFG
:INCLUDE WIN32.TOC
#2.
Navigate to the CBuilder6Help directory and open BCB6.CNT in Notepad.
Paste the three lines you just copied above the line that reads :Include
bcb6.ohc.
#3.
After saving the changes made above, copy all files named WIN32*.* from the
Borland SharedMSHelp directory into the CBuilder6Help directory.
After doing this, open the C++Builder 6 IDE, and you will see that the
Win32 Help files have been integrated. You can now look up Win32 API
functions.

The basic synopsis is that you should open BCB6.CNT and make sure those
three lines from WIN32.CNT are in it. Sounds like they might be missing or
incomplete.

Now it works correctly -- I'm getting a compile error: borlndmm.dll missing.
Yet it is right there in c:Program FilesBorlandCBuilder6Bin. What's happening here?
