Context Sensitive Help

[WilliamdorHwSw]

I had some experience with an ActiveX utility for Visual C++ (can't remember it's name!) a few years ago that provided context sensitive help and a slew of other features for the programming language and environment. It was great and I'm spoiled on it and VB's context senstive features. I know that I can create tags for this purpose within CVI, but I can't justify the time investment to do that. Is there anything out there that anyone else has seen that helps with identifying the intrinsic function parameters as you type the function name and ideally one that can do that from our own function prototypes.

You could catch the EVENT_KEYPRESS in all your controls, check for the F1
key and call a common function passing it the callback function name (either
from the __func__ macro or from a GetCtrlAttribute(, ATTR_FUNCTION_NAME, )
And from there do some contextual matching.
