Collection-Level .HxC File

  • Article

The collection definition (.HxC) file serves as a manifest for your collection-level files. Each collection-level file receives a reference in the .HxC file, as follows:

  • <TOCDef> refers to the collection-level .HxT file.

  • <KeywordIndexDef> refers to a collection-level .HxK file.

  • <AttributeDef> refers to the collection-level .HxA file.

The <ItemMoniker> tags are also required and can be copied from the .HxC file that was used to compile the .HxS file. The <CompilerOptions> and <IncludeFile> elements are ignored at registration time and should be omitted.

Example

The following example shows a simple collection-level .HxC file for a Help collection that has a table of contents and two indexes.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE HelpCollection>
<HelpCollection 
   DTDVersion="1.0" 
   LangId="1033"
   Title="HelpCol_A Collection" 
>
   <TOCDef File="HelpCol.HxT"/>
   <KeywordIndexDef File="HelpCol_K.HxK"/>
   <KeywordIndexDef File="HelpCol_A.HxK"/>

   <ItemMoniker Name="!DefaultTOC"
      ProgId="HxDs.HxHierarchy"
      InitData="TOC"/>
   <ItemMoniker Name="!DefaultKeywordIndex"
      ProgId="HxDs.HxIndex"
      InitData="K"/>
   <ItemMoniker Name="!DefaultAssociativeIndex"
      ProgId="HxDs.HxIndex"
      InitData="A"/>
</HelpCollection>
