disable context help

[bigg_jon]

Hello,

I have written a stand alone application, and during testing, I found that Ctrl+h brings up the context help window.  I don't want this to occur.  Is there any easy way to remove this operation?  I have been using an event structure with the "Menu Selection? (App)" event and discarding it if the tag was "APP_SHOW_HELP", but I was just wondering if there was a better way.  Oh, I'm using LV 7.1 if it makes a difference.

Thanks for your help,

Jon

Hi Jon,

I think discarding the menu event is the only way to do it.  If you want to disable the Ctrl-H key combination, just add an event for that, too.  Here's what I came up with:

Thanks for the quick and thorough answer Darren,

I didn't see anything in the menus/vi properties about disabling the help window, so I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious.  After changing and rebuilding, it works as I had hoped.

Thanks again,

Jon

Don't forget that you have to account for the capital H as well.

Good call...capital H is ASCII character 72...a perfectly valid character to check if the user has Caps Lock on.  Note that Ctrl-Shift-H does not launch the Help window, so you don't have to worry about that corner case.
