Hello,
for all those who like to have a build in help in their application and don't know how to do I like to publish my solution
used in my B4J/Windows Apps.
The way is easy.
1st create an application manual with MS Word and save it as Word file.
2nd Download an Install the free app chmProcessor.
3rd Open the App and Add the Word file and klick Generate a chm file is generated.
4th In your App place a button to open the help file and use fx.ShowExternalDocument(File.GetUri("<Folder>",<filename>))
EXAMPLE
Button code: fx.ShowExternalDocument(File.GetUri(file.DirAssets,"Manual.chm"))
Result by clicking on the Button opens the Windows Help System Dialog like this.
If you like to serve with help in different languages do it the same way and place .chm file for each language.
I detect the device language in the Main Sub App_Created. And if the chm file for the detected language is not found I switch to use my allways placed english.chm file.
Have Fun....
