Anyway I wrote this IDEtool to get Win32 help.
You need the old win32.chm file, you can download it from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32-help-chm/files/
Then uncompress and put the win32.chm file in the PureBasic folder.
Compile this code below and save the exe somewhere with the name: WinApiHelpTool
Then create an IDETool:
CommandLine: Choose the saved WinApiHelpTool.exe
Arguments: %WORD
Shortcut: CTRL + F1
That's all, now when you need help about a WinApi word, simply click the word and push CTRL+F1
Code: Select all
