Question Help Function

[Carlo H. Francisco]

I got a system where the default F1/Help function is running this particular procedure(.p).

Where can I find this?

Any reply will be so much appreciated, Thanks.

Search for F1 in your source code.

Sir Cringer,

I searched it, and there is no result. Even for the 'help' word, nothing has found.

 

[jdpjamesp]

Have you tried searching for the .p that is run?

If you press F1 in a progress application and it then runs progress code, you're searching wrong.

There has to be an F1 trigger in the source. Try again.

status default "Use[arrow keys] & [return] to select or <F1> Help".
READKEY.
lv-key = lookup(keyfunction(lastkey),"cursor-up,cursor-down,cursor-right,cursor-left,go,return,F1").
    if lastkey = keycode("F1") then
        run ip-help.

I have this dim memory of an applhelp.p as the default ... but we are talking probably 20 years, so don't count on it.

Thnks for the replies...

Anyway, Mr tamhas...thats it...I looked for the .p and its applhelp.p also..

But I don't know where is this procedure in the source code...

When you have a Progress session open... what does this show?

message SEARCH("applhelp.r") SEARCH("applhelp.p").

More than likely it will return a file under your DLC directory in either the gui or tty directory.

 

[tamhas]

It should be in the root directory of one of the directories on your PROPATH.

Mr. TheMadDBA,

The applhelp.r found in : C:\Program Files\PROGRESS\PROBUILD\EUCAPP\EUC.PL and the message for applhelp.p is just : .\applhelp.p
