>I am currently creating and editing context-sensitive help with RoboHelp 95.
>Our developers are using VB 4.0 and we cannot get consistent results using
>F1 or Shift+F1. We only have consistent control over the display of
>context-sensitive help when we use the "What's This" button. (The decision
>to allow access to context-sensitive help using F1 and Shift+F1 was made
>long before I started working on this particular help project.)
>
>When I consulted Blue Sky on this issue they told me certain parameters
>could be set on the development end that would force F1 to consistently
>display in the proper window (as opposed to the default main window it now
>displays in). Blue Sky faxed me a very technical document which I handed off
>to our development staff. I naively believed this would solve the problem.
>However, now I am told there is nothing they can do to fix the problem and
>the document I gave them is useless.
>
>I am now wondering if this problem can be fixed at all. Is it possible to
>control how F1 (or Shift+F1) displays help from within the application (I
>thought there were specific WinHelp API commands that could be used to
>designate this sort of thing)? Is this something that can be done with VB
>5.0? Any input provided will be greatly appreciated.
