User's Guide
Adding general help for the main window is a little different from
adding context-sensitive help. Here, you must provide some connections
that tell VisualAge to display help; whereas, for context-sensitive help,
F1 automatically triggers a help request.
To add general help, do the following:
- Open the settings for the Window part.
- Set the information as before, but set its helpTopicId to the
ID you specified in the help source for the related help panel. For
information on helpTopicId, see Adding context-sensitive help for a part.
- Add a Help pull-down menu to the existing menu structure, and
add a General help menu choice. For information on adding
pull-down menus, refer to VisualAge Smalltalk Getting Started.
- Connect the clicked event of General help to the
help action of the main window.
Now, when the user selects General help, the related help panel
is displayed.
