Article #29833: Intraweb Context Sensitive Help not working

Problem:


Pressing F1 when an Intraweb component is selected fails to bring up the help information


Resolution:


Start up Delphi. Select Help | Customize. This will start Borland OpenHelp and it should open up D7.ohp. Select the Contents tab. Select Add Files by clicking the add files button or right clicking in the ListView box. You must add the Intraweb.cnt file. In order to see this file you must change the Files of Type from *.toc to *.cnt. If you installed Delphi to the default location, this file can be found at:

C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Help\IntraWeb


You will get a message asking:
Do you want to change the system registry path of Intraweb.cnt from C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Help\IntraWeb\\Intraweb.cnt to C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Help\IntraWeb\Intraweb.cnt?

Select yes.

Click on the Index tab. Select Add Files. You must add the Intraweb.hlp file. If you installed Delphi to the default location, this file can be found at:

C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Help\IntraWeb

You will get a message asking:
Do you want to change the system registry path of INTRAWEB.HLP from C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Help\IntraWeb\\INTRAWEB.HLP to C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Help\IntraWeb\INTRAWEB.HLP?

Select yes.

Click on the Link tab. Select Add Files. You must add the Intraweb.hlp file. If you installed Delphi to the default location, this file can be found at:

C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Help\IntraWeb

Save the project inside of OpenHelp. Close OpenHelp. You must now go to the Delphi 7 help directory (using a utility such as Windows Explorer). If you installed to the default location go to:

C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Help

Erase all .gid files. These are hidden files so make sure you are able to view hidden files. Context Sensitive help should now work with the Intraweb components.
