This item allows Windows help files to be added to the UltraEdit help dropdown for direct reference from within the editor.
Up to 20 help files may be added and will appear in the help dropdown. When this item is selected, a dialog box appears that allows the user to enter the help filename and path, or browse for a help file. Additionally, a field exists for the name of the help file that will be used to identify it in the help dropdown.
If some text is selected within an open document within the editor, the user may press F1 to see a list of user configured help files that may be searched for the selected string. Alternatively, with text selected in an open document, the user may select the appropriate help file from the help dropdown and that help file will be searched for the corresponding topic that matches the selection.
The topic will be shown if found in the help file. If not, the search dialog with closest match of topics will be shown.
The user help files may be Windows Help files (.HLP) or compiled HTML files (.CHM) files as well as URLs for websites.
