Help Required for Help Context Id !!!!!!


Help Required for Help Context Id !!!!!! SenthilVel
11/30/2005 12:00:00 AM
dotnet faqs:
In VB6 we use the property HELPCONTEXTID in order to assign the help id for
a control. Here in .NET we need to use HelpNavigator

through which we need to specify the TOPICID (equivalent to HELPCONTEXTID in
VB6). But TOPICID will be available only if we have

..NET framework 2.0 installed.

Question is, is there a way, having .NET framework 1.1 we can achieve the
implementation of HELPCONTEXTID?

Thanks

Senthil

There must be a way since this tool lists "Update Form controls with Help
Context Ids/Keywords and pop up
Help Builder context sensitively from within your development environment"
as one of its features.

West Wind HTML Help Builder

There's a message board on that site that may help, if no one here knows off
hand.

It was a bug in 1.1 that is fixed in 2.0. You have to use the actual value
(15) as shown in my blog entry:
