Answer 1

I have a Forms 5.0 app that calls Windows .hlp.
It has attached OFG4HPL.PLL that comes with Developer.
The key-Help trigger is as follows
/* CGHP$CALL_HELP_FORM */
/* Call the help system after setting globals with current block
and item */
BEGIN
:GLOBAL.CG$HP_HFILE := 'HelpSibank.HLP';
IF (:GLOBAL.CG$HP_HFILE IS NULL) THEN
MESSAGE('Warning: Help file is missing or incorrect');
ELSE
:GLOBAL.CG$HP_HFILE := :GLOBAL.CG$HP_HPATH || 'HelpSibank
Contracte_sf.HLP';
BEGIN
CGHP$CALL_MS_HELP(
4 /* IN : Help Context
Id
,:GLOBAL.CG$HP_HFILE); /* IN : Help Resource
File
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
CGTE$OTHER_EXCEPTIONS;
END;
END IF;
END;
See if this will do for you.
Still, if you do happen to find something different, please tell
me how.
I'd be interested how to make and use .chm files for help, for
instance. Or some html help.
