Class wwHelpEvents

This class implements default event functionality for various operations that can be extended through the use of an external COM object. You may specify a COM object to handle the events instead of the default handler. If a method is implemented your method is called. If the method is not implemented or fails the original code runs.

Currently only a couple of hooks are implemented and they are activated only through the User Interface.

You can specify your COM object in two ways:

BeforeImportCodeMethod

OnCommentBlockPaste

This method fires before the Paste operation occurs on the 'Copy Comment Block' menu option as well as the hotkey operation that automatically updates a code snippet from a help topic in Help Builder.

OnCSharpCommentBlockPaste

This method fires before the Paste operation occurs on the 'Copy C# Comment Block' menu option as well as the hotkey operation that automatically updates a code snippet from a help topic in Help Builder.

oHandler

This property takes a reference to a COM object that can implement any of the Public methods of this object. The methods are called in passthrough fashion and if a method is not implemented the default action occurs.

Example

o=CREATE("wwHelp")

o.owwHelpEvents.oHandler = CREATEOBJECT("MyEvents.EventHandler")

*** Help Builder will now call the object
*** for any of the event methods that it supports
