Properties of a help page
Overview
The characteristics of a help page are used to define:
To view the properties of a help page, select "Page Properties" in the context menu of a help page.
"General" tab
The general options of a help page are used to define:
  • the logical name of the help page.
  • the title of the page. This title will be displayed in the summary (if the page appears in the summary). This title can be entered in the different languages supported by the help system.
  • the help number of the page: This number is used to identify the help page. This allows you to open the help on a specific page (WHelp). For more details, see Opening the help.
  • the page visibility in the table of contents:
    • if this option is checked, the page will appear at the specified position in the help summary.
    • if this option is unchecked, the page will only appear in the summary displayed in the help editor. At runtime, the page caption will not be displayed in the summary.
    Caution: this option is taken into account only for the generation of a chm file.
To simplify the management of the help numbers in your help system, see Help page identifier.
