Problem:

DSONLINE allows a Dialog System application to use Windows help files (HLP).  Windows Vista does not support HLP files by default -- a patch is required.  What options are there for providing online help within a Dialog application running on Windows Vista e.g. support for CHM files?

Resolution:

Unfortunately there are no plans to add support for CHM files to DSONLINE.

The current options would seem to be:

1) Add the patch to Vista so that HLP files can still be used.

2) Take a look at the example we provide in Dialog System that shows how to use HTML help.

    This does  not use DSONLINE.  The example can be found in:

   \\NetExpress\\Examples\\Dialog System\\HTMLHELP

3) Look at coding your own interface in to the Windows help system.
