Question

Integrating Robohelp with my application

I've been trying to search the support site, but I'm not sure if I'm using the right search terms to find out if Robohelp does what I need. I need to build a help system, but I want to make it contextual. I'd like to be able to put a help link on each screen, and when the user clicks the help link, I want the help system to show articles that correspond to that screen. Each screen has a unique ID that I would like to associate with each help article, and I can pass it in to the link when I popup the help window. Is it possible to do this in Robohelp? If so, is there an article on how to set this up? A point in the right direction woudl be very appreciated.

    It's called "Context Sensitive Help" or CSH - depending on what form your help output is, there are a number of different ways of having your application call the CSH for the correct page. If you've got RH, search the Help that comes with it for "Context Sensitive Help". The forum has lots of links too about calling CSH.
