GEOSoft Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 GUICtrlSetHelp? I don't know such a command...<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Sorry about that, I wish there was because then we might be able to have context sensitive help. The line that does not work with F1 is GUISetHelp ($HLP)MsgBox(0,'TEST',$HLP) properly returns 'hh.exe 'and yhe full path and filename. Like I said $HLP works fine from the Help menu but not from F1.

Holger Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 (edited) Hmmm...I have no problem here. What happens when you use this sample code? GUICreate("time test") $help = ("hh.exe C:\Anwendungen\AutoIt3\Autoit.chm"); try something similar GUICtrlCreateDate("",10,10,100,20,0x09) GUISetHelp($help) GUISetState() While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() If $msg = -3 Then ExitLoop WEnd Exit So long Holger...

SAG Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I've been recently trying to use GuiSetHelp with mixed success - sometimes (in a single application) it worked and sometimes it didn't. I've used essentially the code that Holger included below $HLP = 'hh.exe ' & @ScriptDir & '\ADHelp.chm' GUICreate('My GUI',$GW,$GH) GUISetHelp($HLP) GUISetState() .. etc. What I have just found is that whether it works depends on whether I've first pulled up Help from another application. For example, I can launch my app, press "F1" and get nothing. If I click on the Windows desktop and press "F1" to bring up the Windows "Help and Support Center", then select my (already running) app and press "F1", my help comes up. Same happens if I bring up AutoIt help from SciTe first -"F1" will work within my app. My help will continue to work once I've gotten it to work the first time but once I close my app, "F1" will not work when I relaunch it unless I first open Help from another app again. Any thoughts? Thanks Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
