create custom help for our own designed custom steps below the Teststand help

[Sury@]

 I wanted to know can we create our own custom help option just below the teststand help where i want to give help for the person who is using my custom steps. This help is related only to custom steps created by me which links to the help file on mine created which describe how to use the custom steps created.

kpravenn,

Currently there isn't a way to add a custom help menu item to the TestStand sequence editor.
Is this what you want to accomplish?

Actually you can add a menu item under the help menu to the sequence editor by adding a new Configuration entry point sequence to the process model. Just choose the Help menu as the menu hint for your sequence when you are configuring it and it will show up at the bottom of the help menu whenever that process model is active. Your sequence would then have to contain the code to display your help file.

Hope this helps,
-Doug

Thank you very much. I will try this out.

In addition, if you do not already do this I would ensure that you have a Help button or F1 support from your configuration dialogs for the step types that displays the context specific help for your step type.
