Re: [dtp-dev] Context help for Connection Details page 
Thanks Larry / John
In our plugin, we are not adding any page; instead using driverExtension extension point to override the connection property bits.
NewConnectionProfileWizardPage registers to helpsystem but it is not showing when [? button] is hit on "Create connection profile" dialog for a SQL Model-JDBC Connection. 
Is it a placeholder for future use ?
Reg. John's suggestion, the context help is specific to a page; so it need to be set for each Wizard's page; i was trying few different ways to get something to show-up in the context help side bar. 

Regards
Anthos

One of our developers with experience in this area says:
"The reason the user is having this problem is because they are calling 
setHelp too early.  When they are calling it, in addCustomPages(), the
actual window the wizard shows up in doesn't exist yet. They should be 
doing it in their
      public void createPageControls(Composite container)
method."

I have never seen contextual help added to the Wizard class, so I don't know if it is even possible. Usually, it is added to each wizard page in 
the CreateControl() method.  You can look at the
NewConnectionProfileWizardPage class in the
org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.ui plug-in for an example.

Hi

I am looking for ways to add contextual help to Connection Details
page of New Connection Wizard.
When I try the following in the wizard class, this.getContainer() is
returning null; is it a bug ?

public void addCustomPages() {
                                 super.addCustomPages();
                                 this.mPropPage

.setDriverCategory
("oracle.dbtools.dtp.connectivity.db.driverCategory");
Control c = (Control) this.getContainer(); PlatformUI.getWorkbench ( ).getHelpSystem( 
).setHelp(c, "oracle-dtp-
core-help-createConnection");
                }

any other of way to get the context help ?

Anthos
