I'm trying to do something with help which I would have hoped would be straightforward, but it seems not be so.
I have several applications which are both Windows and Mac. I have a help tool (Windows based) which generates a .chm file for Windows and a collection of .html files for the Mac. I've been able to successfully compile the latter into a Help book. I'm now trying to set this up so that if the user hits the help keys on a dialog, it opens up the help with the specific page for that dialog. I have a couple of problems/questions with this: 1. NSHelpManager does not seem to have a way to open up a page based upon the file name (just "anchors" and search strings), while the older Apple Help did. Am I missing something there? 2. Under Windows, if you hit the F1 key, WM_HELP messages are sent up the chain, so I just have to process that at the desired level. I was hoping that there would similarly be a showHelp in NSResponder, but it appears that showHelp always goes straight to the NSApplication. Is there any way to work get the type of behavior I need?
