I have an application written in c++builder that has a help file .hlp and I
realized that these help files can't be seen in Windows Vista, so I am
trying to change the help file to .chm format.
Using the HTML Help Workshop I translated the help project to a new .hpp
project
In the application I changed the call to the help file:
Application->HelpFile = ExtractFileDir( ParamStr( 0 ) ) + "\\geometria.chm";

Now the application calls correctly to the help file, but I don't know what
I have to do to have context-sensitive help.

Previously I had in a call, for example,
Application->HelpContext( 1000 );

and a map in the help file.

¿how can I do the map in HTML Help Workshop ?

Thank you

Hi there,

I had the same problem, so I use a component called EC Software Help
Suite, then you can link CHM help file in your application.

A quick google searc h should help you find the component.

good luck.
