<p class="style1">Context Help Editor</p> |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Context-sensitive help is a mechanism that enables linking a user interface part with a specific help topic. It is then activated by a specific previously defined trigger. Such triggers can be associated with widgets statically using context IDs, or dynamically using context providers. The association made with statical context IDs is stored in an XML file, which can be accessed and edited by Context Help Editor. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
On the <p class="style2">Definition</p> page of the editor there are two columns. The one on the left is titled <p class="style2">Context help</p> and stores all context help related information. The other one (on the right side) stores and enables editing detailed information about selected items from the context list (left column). |
