Description

The Help Generator offers a comprehensive suite of tools designed for creating CHM help files, web-based assistance, and printed user manuals. Its contemporary editing interface, influenced by Office aesthetics, is packed with features that enhance productivity and ensure high-quality results. You can utilize the WYSIWYG (HTML) Help Editor, which features a modern Windows fluent ribbon for seamless editing. With the Help Generator, you can create standard Windows help files, often referred to as CHM files or compiled HTML help, as well as online help for any Windows application. The accompanying add-in generates a detailed topic page for each form within your application, complete with a title, a screenshot featuring an image map, and sections dedicated to all controls. Notably, the pages produced by this add-in are automatically integrated with your application, providing immediate F1 support for context-sensitive help. Additionally, there are add-in versions compatible with Visual Studio .NET, Visual Basic 6, and Microsoft Access, making it a versatile option for different development environments. This flexibility allows developers to streamline the documentation process, ensuring that users have easy access to the information they need.
