Re: [Pasdoc-main] Help on Help

I was going to assign the OnKeyDown event handlers in FormCreate but your 
method looks better.

I'm not certain whether the web page(s) displayed by the GUI should be 
local or on the internet.  The advantage of having them on the web is that 
they are more likely to be up-to-date.  The advantage of having them local 
is that they are always available even if you don't have an internet 
connection or if the web site is down.  Perhaps the best solution would be 
to provide local web pages that give the basic information and then 
provide a link to the internet web page.

Basically I agree with everything what you said, except for the idea of 
assigning OnKeyDown handler to every control on a form. This would be a 
major pain -- it would be extremely easy to accidentally forget about 
handling OnKeyDown for some control. Fortunately a simpler solution is 
possible: set KeyPreview of the form to true, and assign OnKeyDown 
handler of the form to something like

procedure TForm1.FormKeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word;
   Shift: TShiftState);
begin
   if (Key = VK_F1) and (ActiveControl <> nil) then
     ShowMessage('Got F1 key from ' + ActiveControl.Name);
end;

I think that "Help" menu item should show some main help page of 
pasdoc_gui. This page should basically say what pasdoc_gui is -- that 
it's a GUI interface to all pasdoc functionality, that you can create, 
modify and save setting inside *.pds files and use them to generate 
documentation. Feel free to create such page on 
[http://pasdoc.sipsolutions.net/PasDocGui].
