MSDNOnlineHelp for PB4 IDE

[PB]

Just an update to confirm that yes, the Microsoft *.img was in fact an *.iso,
it burnt fine when I renamed the extension to that. Stupid Microsoft.

This is what I've done, but I don't like how the MSDN help doesn't open in a
maximized state... could this be done for the next release? Or optional?

Paul,

I just opened up MSDN on my machine, using F1.

It opened and I maximized it manually. From that point on, it opens maximized. I'm using WinXP Pro SP2.

I'm not sure if it will remember this after a reboot though.

You guys are talking MSDN help as it would be the PLatform SDK.

I have had Visual Studio 6 (yes, a few weeks ago) along with the MSDN Library October 2001 Edition. The MSDN Help works with all VS apps (VB, VC++, etc..) but with PB it doesn't work.

I am trying to find a workaround..

It doesn't, and neither does it remember if you quit and restart the IDE.

If it's being ShellExecuted by the IDE, then using #SW_MAXIMIZE as a flag
would be a nice option to ensure it always opens maximized. Same for the
PureBasic help file.

Which I interpreted as:
1. Remove Win32.hlp from the help directory.
2. Install MSDN.
3. I now should have access automatically (I assumed this was what he meant with "special access to the whole MSDN if I install it").

That's correct.

is this using the mshelp:// protocol? (from microsoft document explorer)
because i dont have the sdk, but i have the platform sdk help in microsoft document explorer from installing delphi 2005

and is there a way to do this using pb 3.94? or does the tool posted in the first post do that? (work with pb 3.94)
(i'm asking about v3.94 because i'm only going to download the stable pb4 - i dont like betas)

It doesn't work. For example, type "Sleep_(1000)" and put the cursor
between the 2 e's, then select the tool from the Tools menu, and you end
up at a page for a Windows CE 3.0 topic.
