Help on WIN32API functions does not function anymore!

[NoahPhense]

It's all good. JAPBE has all the features I need, and it works with all
versions of the SDK..

And it doesn't care if I have the win32.hlp file in the Help folder.

F1 brings me right into the R2 SDK.

Looks like the regular PB editor has moved to the back again.

It's all good though. I'd rather have Fred focusing on the compiler than
the IDE. IDE's are easy.

- Commandline: Drive Root + Programm Root + \H2Viewer.exe
- Arguments: MS.PSDKSVR2003SP1.1033 /index %WORD
- Name: H2 Viewer (PSDKSVR2003)
- Shortcut: F1 *

Thank you for the tip, it worked !

If you are using "Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2" like me the first string in the arguments list must be:

MS.PSDKSVR2003R2.1033

Bye!

I recently upgraded from XP to 7 and now when I press F1 on an API command, I get the standard Windows help, instead of the Win32.hlp file shown. Anyone know how to fix that? I can't install the MSDN help files because of lack of disk space (don't ask) and also lack of CD/DVD drive to install it. The old 24 MB Win32.hlp file was sleek and perfect for my needs.

I bet that will bring it's own problems to the table pretty soon............

Thanks, Luis. As for the disk space: I sometimes PureBasic on my portable USB stick and don't want to waste 600 MB of MSDN data on it.

It is an old trick
