Hi all,
I have written a help file and have linked it to our v8.3 app with context sensitive help. In order to do this I used the message blaster OCX to watch for the WM_HELP message in the main parent window. This worked fine, the WM_HELP message fired in the widget and was then passed upwards to the parent window, was spotted by Message Blaster and the help opened.
Version 9 seems to be another story. The WM_HELP message fires OK in the widget but does not bubble up to the main parent window and so therefore is never spotted by Message Blaster.
I have played around with in Progress inbuilt context help stuff but do not want to loose the functionality of the max/min buttons one the window.
Has anyone played around with this and have any ideas?
TIA
Matt
