Help example

This example demonstrates how to use TQt Assistant as help system for your own application. You can control TQt Assistant either directly using e.g. the open button or indirectly by pressing F1.

This example provides a context sensitive help, i.e. pressing F1 will show the help for the item under the mouse cursor.

In order to run TQt Assistant as a custom help tool for this application properly you have to specify a profile. A profile is a file format similar to the documentation content files that assistant used up to TQt 3.1. Once such a profile has been specified TQt Assistant can be run with the option -profile and then the filename of the profile. The HelpDemo example does this for you if you press the Run TQt Assistant customized for HelpDemo.

TQt Assistant can also display arbitrary pages with the Display button or using the context help (F1), but TQt Assistant won't be customized for this example application.
