Re: html chm help file usage supported in D2007 Rad Studio? *confused*

I think the point was that there is a lack of direct support for CHM in Delphi itself (i.e. without working around the problem). Quite surprising since Vista no longer supports the .hlp format.

Hi!
I use the "HTML Help Kit for Delphi" from http://www.helpware.net and it is working fine.
The html help works like the old help files if you want it to do so.
I think the kit is freeware.
Regards
TorB.

Ok folks... I gotta be missing something here. M$ has said their 'standard' help file is html based help for a while now... I can create CHM files all day long but cant for the life of me figure out how to use them with delphi apps.

Rad Studio still only allows selection of HLP files for the applications hlp file... and if you use a CHM file anyway it reports that no help system has been installed when you press F1 inside an app.

So... should delphi users be using CHM help? or still HLP despite what M$ says? is there something im missing? are their compatibility issues with what help system you use?

Thanks
