I have win32.hlp, but not WinHlp32.exeRandy Walker wrote: Mon Jun 16, 2025 1:56 am If you can't find it and would like a working copy of the win32.hlp file compatible on Win 11 and various releases of pureBasic for Windows, I'm sure there is a way I could upload it somewhere for you to grab it.
Oh, sorry, I don't read so well. I ziped up my Help folder and uploaded it where you can grab it. It is the complete folder so just download and unzip it directly into your main PB folder(s)AZJIO wrote: Mon Jun 16, 2025 1:59 amI have win32.hlp, but not WinHlp32.exeRandy Walker wrote: Mon Jun 16, 2025 1:56 am If you can't find it and would like a working copy of the win32.hlp file compatible on Win 11 and various releases of pureBasic for Windows, I'm sure there is a way I could upload it somewhere for you to grab it.
UHhhh, come to think about it, I remembered Long ago when I first encountered this issue occurring after a new jaPBe installation, A trusted PB user passed me this other file to enable F1 on API keywords, so I'm making it available here too:Randy Walker wrote: Mon Jun 16, 2025 2:16 am I zipped up my Help folder and uploaded it where you can grab it.

This is what I have working well here on my Win 11 Pro machine.
Works for me:Randy Walker wrote: Sun Jun 15, 2025 11:53 pmThanks Caronte3D, but that doesn't work at all. I'm asking for "topical help" on API keywords that actually looks at the cursor position and gives 'topical" help on that specific keyword same as we get now if the cursor is resting on a PB keyword and we press F1.

Now it makes sense for you to try it, since I did it with a black design style.
Unnecessary exercise Way too complicated for my brain. Already have the F1 help I was looking for. Thanks.AZJIO wrote: Tue Jun 17, 2025 1:31 amNow it makes sense for you to try it, since I did it with a black design style.
If you are interested in how this is done, then unzip and open the file: win32\popup\css\Header.css
I made a text replacement using a regular expression:
1. Constants
Find: >([A-Z][A-Z_\d]+?_[A-Z_\d]++)</TD>
Replacement: ><font class="cons">\1</font></TD>
2. Subsections on the page
Find: <P><B>Parameters</B></P>
Replacement: <p class="section">Parameters</p>
Execute for: Parameters, Remarks, Errors, See Also, Return Values, Members
3. Table headers
Find: <B>Meaning</B></TD>
Replacement: <font class="fldth">Meaning</font></TD>
Execute for: Value, Meaning, Action
4. Comments
Find: (// [^\r\n<]++)
Replacement: <font class="comm">\1</font>
5. Links
Find: <A HREF="(.+?).htm"><B>(\w+)</B></A>
Replacement: <A HREF="\1.htm">\2</A>
But we know that this is not the case. The problem for me is the lack of a native language, so I'd rather use a browser, or rather my utility, which generates a request for the browser and opens the description in my native language.
