Hi Allen, Just this afternoon I implemented the changes that integrate our online wiki. It's a C# app but the same applies to Fox.
Every visual control (button, checkbox, form, etc) is derived from Microsoft controls. I added an extra string property called HelpContextId. When you presses F1 or click Help it looks at the current control's HelpContextId . If it does, great, if not, check the parent control. Repeat until you find one. The HelpContextId is used in the webpage URL. I redirect the user to: http://example.com/x/HwFW We are using Confluence. I haven't used this much, but it looks OK. https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence Confluence has a 'tiny link' option which I use to create the above link. I still have to think about: - No internet access (one customer is a nuclear power station!) - Flaky internet access (customers in South Africa, Nigeria and Thailand) Paul On 30 January 2015 at 13:30, Allen <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Paul > Maybe.
