Setup Context Sensitive Help
Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2003 2:56 pm
Hi Folks
I'm integrating AutoItv3 with TextPad, and am having great fun .. Thanks for these great tools to everyone concerned =o)
Just thought I would share something that has helped me a lot in using AutoItv3, but can be used with any other application that has a help file with topics that match keywords that can be highlighted in TextPad.

To setup Context Sensitive Help in TextPad for AutoItv3.
- Setup a tool in TextPad that runs explorer.exe
- Set Parameters = mk:@MSITStore:D:\Program%20Files\AutoIt3\AutoIt.chm::/html/functions/$Sel.htm
..making sure that your path to your Autoit.CHM helpfile is indicated - Assign a hotkey to the Tool (I use Alt-F1)
- Open an AutoItv3 script in TextPad
- highlight a puzzling AutoItv3 command or function
- Press your hotkey (Alt-F1 for me)
- Help for the command pops up!
