Hi,
I wrote a helpfile with MS Help Workshop and created Topics and Whats this
help. The "Show Whats this" function works perfect but the F1 context help
will not work. I set the "Help Context ID" in the object properties to a
special ID but nothing comes up.

I have an app with a fixed menubar window and some other windows, not MDI,
open at the same time and a F1 function in my "help menu" in this menubar
window. Could that be the problem that in the other windows the F1 context
help does not work (in the menubar window it does not work too)?

Or are there new API calls for the Help Workshop help files?

Hello, Kay!

Context-sensitive help is constructed within your "myApp.hpj" file.
It looks something like this:

[MAP]
MDIForm1        1
frmOne          2
frmTwo          3
frmMain         4

Then just be sure to add these numbers to the individual forms
(or controls) within their respective VB HelpContext_ID properties,
and add the appropriate Jump Tags within your .RTF file.

There's a great example on building Help Files in the book by
"Scott, Shannon, Font, Hatfield, et al" entitled:
"Visual Basic 4 Unleashed.

Regards,
David
