Hi,
I want help regarding providing information about form and controls which
are presented on the form.
when ever user presses f1 if the form has focus then it has to provide
information about the form( eg.what it does etc)
When the control has focus , if the user presses f1 key then it has to
provide info regatding that control i.e what the control is meant for.
Like that i want to provide help information to the end user to make him
know how to use the application.
For eg in my application there is one form and it is having 2 text box
controls and i've placed HelpProvider control.
For form i 've set the properties like this
show help on helpProvider1 = true
HelpString on helpProvider1= Drugs Entry Form
For First textbox i set the following properties
show help on helpProvider1 = true
HelpString on helpProvider1= Enter Drug name
For Second textbox i set the following properties
show help on helpProvider1 = true
HelpString on helpProvider1= Enter Dosage level
After running the application so the form is having the focus and when i
press f1 it is displaying the message dugs entry form
, when select 1st textbox and press f1 then it is displaying Enter Drug
name and
when select 2nd textbox and press f1 then it is displaying enter dosage
level.
Again when am selecting form and pressing f1 then it is displaying the
message Enter dosage level.( it is displaying the message of the control
which i 've selected previously before selecting the form.
So instaed of providing message using helpstring i've used one htmel page.
In this i 've written some text. and i 've included this file into
application using the property
HelpNamespace of HelpProvider control.
When am running the application and pressing f1 key then it is displaying
the information into Browser i dont want to display the info into browser
but want to display in seperate document .
Plz tell me how to do this one.
Thanx in advance
Yoshitha
