This was really really disappointing. Is it my fault or is this something any other may document happens there too.

Now, where is THAT documented?? Possibly in the What's New in D2005. I think that was when it was introduced. Note also to show the Table of Contents, instead of calling Application.HelpJump('') you need Application.HelpShowTableOfContents. I don't know if they're still available but you should try to track down the What's new in D6, D7, (forget about D, D2005 and D2006 if you have made quantum leap from D5. -- Chris Burrows CFB Software http://www.cfbsoftware.com/gpcp Back to top Guest Posted: Tue May 23, 2006 4:14 pm    Post subject: Re: tApplication.HelpContext etc. in Delphi 2006 works diffe "Kevin" <1 (AT) 1 (DOT) com> wrote in message news:4472c06b$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

(VS/hxs format) I guess HTMLHelpViewer is designer for that purpose. Not really. It handles HTML Help (.chm) but not HTML Help 2 (.hxs). MS did not make HTML Help 2 available for consumer apps. They use it in their development tools and MS Office. But in general it did not get "blessed" for public consumption. Posted to news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.helpauthoring From: "Shane McRoberts [MSFT]" <shanemc (AT) microsoft (DOT) moc> Subject: NEWS: Update from Microsoft on Help plans Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2003 15:54:04 -0800 The Microsoft? Help team has decided not to release Microsoft Help 2 as a general Help platform. This is primarily in response to customer feedback that the most important thing is providing a standard Help experience on everybody's machine. With that in mind, we are focusing our work efforts on providing a great Help experience in the next client release of Windows (codename "Longhorn") rather than on releasing an interim solution that is not integrated with the operating system. While Microsoft develops future Help technologies, we encourage Help authors to continue using HTML Help 1.x. Visual Studio? .NET has great support for integrating HTML Help 1.x content into the applications you build, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbcon/html/vbconApplicationAssistance.asp. There are also many 3rd party tools available that provide a rich authoring experience for HTML Help 1.x content (for some examples, see http://www.winwriters.com/restools.htm [not a Microsoft site]). The Help 2 engine will continue to be provided with several of Microsoft's developer-related products, including Visual Studio .NET, MSDN? Library, Microsoft .NET Framework SDK, and Microsoft Office Developer. Component developers and others who need to integrate their Help content into the Help system in Visual Studio .NET can do so using the Visual Studio Help Integration Kit (VSHIK). See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/htmlhelp/html/hwmscExtendingNETHelp.asp for more information. There are also 3rd party tools that provide support for Help 2, including FAR HTML (http://www.helpware.net/FAR/index.html [not a Microsoft site]) and ComponentOne? Doc-To-Help? (http://www.componentone.com/helptools.aspx [not a Microsoft site]).
