As Vista drops support for .HLP, will CVI allow me to generate Help files in .CHM format?

[Darren Draper]

I understand that Microsoft Vista will no longer include WinHlp32.exe, and therefore any .HLP help files will not run, unless WinHlp32.exe is downloaded from Microsoft.  They are encouraging developers to migrate to .CHM, .HTML or .XML.  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607

I currently use CVI7.1 to develop PXI drivers, and it allows me to generate my driver help files in .HLP format only.  Is there any plan for CVI to be able to support generation of driver help files in .CHM format?  I have not yet looked at CVI8.x to see whether this does so.

This hasn't changed in CVI 8.0.1 yet, but the next version of CVI after 8.0.1 will allow you to generate .html files from function panels, which you should then be able to compile into a .chm.
