F1 - help and function reference

[starmaker]

Hello

Why there is no help available or any function reference in CB ?
It is much faster to press F1 than find function name on MSDN or
other online service.
How to make it works under Windows ? IDE without help is useless
or at least hard to use in my opinion.

if you have the help plugin installed, you can set help files through "Settings->Environment" and clicking on "Help files" in the list to the left.
The default file is called when pressing F1..

You are right but is there any up do date documentation ?

Now I use MSDN or cppreference.com web pages.

Keep in mind that C::B is an IDE, not a compiler.  In fact, you can use many different compilers with C::B.  For C::B to provide help for all the compilers possible would be an over-whelming task.

There is Help Plugin available. So I wanted to use it. Is there only one working help file available ?
If not why work on this plugin ?

Does anyone has succeded with Help Plugin and can post working help file url ?

Just search a bit on the internet. The pages from cppreference.com are for example also available as .chm file (someone converted them) and for wx you can get the files directly from wxwidgets.org. Search a little bit and you will find what you're looking for...
