Where is the Help File in VB examples?

Hi,

 

I'm running through the examples of Measurement Studio for VB6. 

 

When the project runs, pressing the [Help] button invokes an help file.  However, when not running, while looking at the callback for the [Help] button I can only see  the procedure  'Private Sub CWHelpButton1_GotFocus()'.  There's nothing in this procedure to call the help file.

 

How does the help file invoked?

 

Thanks

Rafi

Can you send me the name and location of the file that you are running?

Hi Richard,

 

I see it in all the examples of Measurement Studio installation (for VB6).  For example the FFT (in analysis library).

 

If it's not installed on your pc, I can send it to you....

 

Thanks.

HI,

 

I can see that the help file is invoked with the ActivX component CWHelpButton.   Then, in the properties I see the following settings:

   Help Context ID -  15145

   Help File - cwanalysis.hlp

 

The above is an example for the HELP button in 'Power Spectrum' example. 

 

Can anybody tell me how to obtain this information?

 

Thanks

It looks like that button is designed to just give help about additional examples:

What information exactly are you looking for when you ask  "Can anybody tell me how to obtain this information?"

I'm looking for the information shown in the 2 lines in my previous post: 

    Help Context ID

    Help File

 

The example in my previous post shows the details that points (when you press the HELP button) to the 'spectrum analysis'  sample program.  

 

My question is how one obtains this information....  (which help file... what context ID...)

 

Thanks
