How to Include User Help (Windows CE 5.0)
You can provide user help files for Windows CE shell applications by creating new user help files or by modifying existing HTML help files and then adding them to your run-time image.
Providing help for the applications you include on your target device helps enable users to be successful using your product.
Creating user Help files is beyond the scope of this documentation. For more information about developing user help for Windows CE-based handheld products, see this Microsoft Web site.
Shell help topics are displayed through your Windows CE-based OS using HTML files and WEBVIEW, the Windows CE Help viewer. Existing help topics are accessed by clicking or tapping the Help button on the application's Command Bar. Existing topics can be modified to fit your shell.
To provide access to new help topics created for applications you provide, create the content you want to display, add the HTML files to your project, and provide access to the content by including the proper command bar functionality in your application code.
Note Modifying included HTML Help source files is subject to the terms of the Microsoft end-user license agreement (EULA). To understand the rights you have to a specific source code file, review the copyright header of each file. For a copy of the EULA, see the LICENSE.RTF on your install media.
