Adding Context Sensitive Help

Listed below are the steps used to add LEADTOOLS context sensitive help to Delphi 4.0, Delphi 5.0, Delphi 6.0, C++ Builder 4.0, C++ Builder 5.0 and C++ Builder 6.0.

Delphi 4.0

1.

Open the Delphi4.cnt file found in your ..\Borland\Delphi4\Help directory. You can open this using NotePad or the Help Workshop. Add the following line to provide context sensitive help from the Main VCL help file:

:Index LEADTOOLS VCL=(LEAD)\Help\ltvcl.chm

where (LEAD) represents the directory in which you installed the LEADTOOLS VCL toolkit. Please note that a comparable line must be added for each help file used to provide context sensitive help. For example, to add context sensitive help from the DICOM VCL, add the following line:

:Index LEADTOOLS DICOM VCL = (LEAD)\Help\Ltdicvcl.chm

2.

Then you highlight a property or event in the Object Inspector and press F1, or press F1 after typing the name of a property or method in the Editor, you will go to the corresponding LEADTOOLS help file page.

Delphi 5.0

1.

Open the Delphi5.cnt file found in your ..\Borland\Delphi5\Help directory. You can open this using NotePad or the Help Workshop. Add the following line:

:Index LEADTOOLS VCL=(LEAD)\Help\ltvcl.chm

where (LEAD) represents the directory in which you installed the LEADTOOLS VCL toolkit. Please note that a comparable line must be added for each help file used to provide context sensitive help. For example, to add context sensitive help from the DICOM VCL, add the following line:

:Index LEADTOOLS DICOM VCL = (LEAD)\Help\Ltdicvcl.chm

2.

Then you highlight a property or event in the Object Inspector and press F1, or press F1 after highlighting the name of a property or method in the Editor, you will go to the corresponding LEADTOOLS help file page.

Delphi 6.0

1.

Open the Delphi6.cnt file found in your ..\Borland\Delphi6\Help directory. You can open this using NotePad or the Help Workshop. Add the following line:

:Index LEADTOOLS VCL=(LEAD)\Help\ltvcl.chm

where (LEAD) represents the directory in which you installed the LEADTOOLS VCL toolkit. Please note that a comparable line must be added for each help file used to provide context sensitive help. For example, to add context sensitive help from the DICOM VCL, add the following line:

:Index LEADTOOLS DICOM VCL = (LEAD)\Help\Ltdicvcl.chm

2.

When you highlight a property or event in the Object Inspector and press F1, or press F1 after highlighting the name of a property or method in the Editor, you will go to the corresponding LEADTOOLS help file page.

Open the BCB4.cnt file found in your ..\Borland\CBuilder4\Help directory. You can open this using NotePad or the Help Workshop. Add the following line before the INCLUDE lines:

:Index LEADTOOLS VCL=(LEAD)\Help\ltvcl.chm

where (LEAD) represents the directory in which you installed the LEADTOOLS VCL toolkit. Please note that a comparable line must be added for each help file used to provide context sensitive help. For example, to add context sensitive help from the DICOM VCL, add the following line:

:Index LEADTOOLS DICOM VCL = (LEAD)\Help\Ltdicvcl.chm

2.

When you highlight a property or event in the Object Inspector and press F1, or press F1 after typing the name of a property or method in the Editor, you will go to the corresponding LEADTOOLS help file page.
