Help Icon in Freeform Layout?

[Keith Hubert]

Is there a video or does someone know how to include the Help Topic icon into a Freeform Layout?

[Jim Coltz]

Probably more than one way to do this. I put the help button on the grid's toolbar then ran the grid in Firefox and used firebug to pull the html for the button out and then copied that html into the freeform region. The html looked like this

<img style="cursor:pointer;" title="Open help window." src="images/$$generic.help.png.a5image" onclick="GRID1_GridObj.showGridHelp('Test');">

It worked.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your code.

Is 'Test' the name of your help file? I'm talking about the A5helptable.dbf which gets created when you use the built in help. (see screen shot)

Test was the name of the help ID in the help table.

That makes sense to me now, thanks Jim.
