Help Object Library: 4.4 Creating Help Files: Using Hyperlinks

Up: GEOS SDK TechDocs | Up | Prev: 4.3 Defining Files and Contexts | Next: 4.5 Generating the Help Files

You can set any selected text or graphic to be a hyperlink to another context in any help file. To set a hyperlink, open the "Set Hyperlink" dialog box via the Help Editor menu. Select the text that, when clicked on, should cause the new context page to appear. Then select, in the "Set Hyperlink" dialog, the appropriate file and context names. Click "Apply," and the selected text and/or graphic will act as a hyperlink to that file and context.

Once a hyperlink is created, you can follow it in the GeoWrite document by using the "Follow Hyperlink" entry in the Help Editor menu. This option will not be enabled unless the current cursor or selection is a hyperlink.
