Abstract

See full text

A help editor is provided that allows a help writer to display and interact with dialog boxes with graphical control objects (e.g., a graphical button) while writing help functions. The help functions provide context-sensitive help for the graphical control objects for dialog boxes used in a computer software application. The help editor generates computer source code that allows help writers to test context-sensitive help functions without executing the computer software application they will be used in. The computer source code is used to coordinate help functionality between help writers and software developers during the creation of a computer software applications.
