Help Builder supports importing of both PRG and VCX based Visual FoxPro classes as well as Visual FoxPro tables and database containers.
Visual FoxPro IDE integration is provided via a small PRG file that adds a new Help Builder menu to the Visual FoxPro IDE. This add in menu provides a number of COM Automation hooks that automate Help Builder and allow you to easily communicate with Help Builder.
The menu provides the following features:
- Pop up Help Builder context sensitively based on Help Context Ids directly from within VFP
- Ability to directly import Help Context IDs into Windows Forms and Controls
- Ability to create Code Comments from a Help Builder topic
- Ability to import a Code Comment block from a VFP snippet into Help Builder
You can launch this PRG file from within the Visual FoxPro IDE:
DO <HelpBuilderInstallDir>\wwHelp_Keys.prg
This file is provided as Source Code and provides a good example of Editor integration and how to use the Help Builder COM object using Visual FoxPro code.
