Page Select log files of GUIs to generate Help about

The log files of GUIs to generate help about can be selected on this page.

JADD's source distribution contains in the subdirectory GUI the file UFormHelp, that can be included in any other Delphi project to create the log files. For each log file another file (same base name, but extension .txt) should be created and contain the help on each component.

For more information please take a look at the manual. JADD's source files also include the files used to generate its help (you are currently looking at it).

An alternative content for the main index of the help can also be edited with a dialog that can be shown with the button on the bottom right. The list of log files and the alternative content can also be saved to a file and loaded again.

List of Log Files

The list of log files of GUIs to generate help about. The documentation will be read from files with the same name but the extension ".txt". A screenshot of the GUI with the extension ".bmp", generated with the log files, will also be included in the documentation.

Files and directories can be added to the list, for a directory all log files in it will be read. If the directory is marked, also all files in its subdirectories will be read. For files the mark has no meaning.

Double clicking an entry or pressing the delete key will remove the selected file or directory.

Files and directories can be dragged from the Windows Explorer or other programs into the list box to add them most simply.

Button to edit the Content of the Main Index

Shows a dialog to edit the alternative content of the main index. If it is empty the default content will be used with an alphabetical list of all GUIs for which a help is included.

The main text of the user documentaton will in most formats (all but PDF so far) also be appended to the main index. To use only that text the alternative content must still be defined with at least one item. But a text-only item can be used, maybe even with an empty text.

Use loaded GUI Logs

If the help on the GUI has been generated already, the read information can be used to ease the creation of an alternative content for the main index. The list of log files and their comments as well as the list of pages in the additional user documentation will be available to choose from to create links to them instead of typing their names. It will also be used to check the validity of all links. With this check box can be decided whether the information should be used, if available. Generally this only has advantages, but if the documentation could not be created (success)fully the dialog may encounter further errors, so the usage of the information can be disabled with this check box.

After the alternative content has been edited (and maybe saved) the help can be generated again to include it.
