CONTEXT-HELP-FILE attribute

(Windows only)

Specifies the path name of a help (.HLP) file associated with a dialog box, window, or session.

Return type: CHARACTER

Access: Readable/Writable

Applies to: SESSION system handle, DIALOG-BOX widget, WINDOW widget

If CONTEXT-HELP-FILE is not specified (is unknown) for a dialog box, the dialog box inherits the help file of its parent window. If the parent window's CONTEXT-HELP-FILE is also unknown, it inherits the session's help file (specified by SESSION:CONTEXT-HELP-FILE).

The full pathname of the help file should be given. The AVM does not search for the help file. The pathname can contain Unicode characters. See Internationalize ABL Applications for more information about Unicode.
