HTML Help
We finally support HTML Help in ObjectStudio8.
The class Help contains some class methods, which allow to access CHM (Compiled Html Help) files. All the primitives are gone. Even the processing of the 'F1' key is now handled in Smalltalk (Form>>helpKeyPressed). You can change each of those methods or add new ones to implement your desired help behavior.
You can download the HTMLHelp Workshop from here (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=00535334-c8a6-452f-9aa0-d597d16580cc&displaylang=en)
Most Windows applications have made the transition from traditional help files to the HTML Help. With Windows Vista, Microsoft insists, that you use CHM files onle. Not more HLP files here.
I know, the request to support HTMLHelp was a long outstanding request. Now ins OS8 we finally implement it.
