(Sent to HATT as well) Hi,
We have an omni-everything programmer who wants to document the product using tooltips and only tooltips. Can anyone point me to third-party document that explains why this is a bad idea? My boss would like me to throw together some discussion and samples of c-s online help, screen caps or such, with a discussion of each. For example, CHM -- supports WhatIsThis help -- SP2 issues in Windows -- security issues from a server -- HTML based Web(Works)Help -- supports WhatIsThis help -- HTML based -- requires programming to an API WinHelp -- supports WhatIsThis help -- RTF based -- requires manual viewer download and installation for VISTA Vista Help -- fuggeduboudit, not available yet JavaHelp -- supports WhatIsThis help -- Sun or Oracle -- requires JavaRuntime -- requires programming to an API So, before I do all of that and create samples for screen captures and such, does this info. exist anywhere else? Anyone have a document that can save me the time it will take to reinvent the wheel?
