WinHelp - does it exists?
posted

I didn't know where to post this. But I didn't know if Infragistics has any sort of Control that allows us to design a database driven, searchable help system for our apps.  It would be handy, cause now I have got to make my own dll to do it, lol.

If you have no plans on making one, is there a method/control that you would recommend to help me build one?

    This sounds like a full-fledged application, rather than a control.  Our controls focus on the user interface, so it would be up to the programmer to deal with the database - including how any information from the database drives the UI.

    For building a help-based application similar to MSDN, for example, a number of our Windows Forms controls can be very helpful.  The ones that come to mind immediately include WinTree, WinExplorerBar, WinStatusBar, WinToolbarsManager, and any of our editors.  Depending on what additional functionality you need, you'll want to consider other controls as well.
