Help plug-in

Hi,

I can't find how to use the help plug-in.

Hello,

It is not very complicate. Just open the help Plugin Conf. (under Settings\Plugins' settings\Help plugin), add a name for the help (e.g., wxWidgets Help) and then select the corresponding help file (e.g., wx.chm). That's all.

When you need the help file you have added, just go to the Help Menu.

Best wishes,
Michael

When you need the help file you have added, just go to the Help Menu.

Or right click a word in the editor and choose "Locate in <how_you_named_the_help_file>"

Hi,

is it possible to pass any parameters?
I configured the Win32Api.hlp file to open with F1 key.
Can I get it to open with the keyword under the caret?

Thanx
Tom

Can I get it to open with the keyword under the caret?

As mandrav said: Just right-click on a word in the editor and select "Locate in [your_help_file]" menu entry.

Saying this:
This used to work, but unfortunately it crashes my current Code::Blocks version (RC2 and CVS) with the GCC.chm (v3.4.3) and CPP.chm (3.4.3) files. I don't know if it's only me?!

I use help files, and have ExtHelp plugin for see help like "IView.exe Help.inf [keyword]".
I use standart HelpPlugin too, very actively.
I have no problem!
See screenshot on my menu items (I use 5-6 help files).
