The choice between HLP and CHM can be made at runtime, this makes it easy convert to CHM while customers stll use HLP help.

Features:

Chm4Clarion is different from other CHM solutions (like cwHH) that require:


Code required in the EXE APP and Application Frame procedure:

                include('CBHlpChm.inc'),ONCE    !Chm4Clarion Class Global Include
                CBHlp2Chm      CBHlpChmClass    !Chm4Clarion Class Frame Declaration   
                rtn = CBHlp2Chm.Init('YourHelp.chm',' 'YourHelp.Chm.Ini')    !Chm4Clarion Init
                if rtn then Message('CHM Init Failed Reason ' & rtn ).      
  
No other code is required in in any DLL APPs, or other procedures.

HlpFind utility searches Clarion source and builds a list of all context strings contatined in HLP(), ?{Prop:help} or Help(). Loads a list of CHM URL Topics then validates all context string conversion to find dead links or context strings that require special conversion. This insures all of your help links are valid.
