Re: [Springframework-rcp-dev] Advice on JavaHelp

[Peter De B. <pet...@gm...>]

Benoit,

to have context sensitive help in a view you can follow this method:

1. create your help html files
2. create entries in your <xxxxxx>.jhm file
3. in your view.createControl() method: get a reference to your helpset,
create a helpbroker, and enable help on individual components in your view.
4. to have a help button in your view: create a button with a help icon,
then call HelpBroker.enableHelpOnButton()


Some spring-rich specific class wrapping HelpBroker should still be created=
,
so the helpset and broker can be reused by the views and the
JavaHelpFormComponentInterceptorFactory.
If you'd like to, you can create this class, and contribute it to the
project ;-)


hope this helps,

Peter
