First Aid help, like Normal Help, provides a full-featured help viewer. First Aid files are also organized by context, but the information is presented in a different format. Whereas Normal Help is organized around the structure of the application, First Aid is presented in a book format.
When a user clicks the First Aid trigger, the help page for the proper context is displayed; this will typically be taken from the current Focus object (as in Standard Help). From there, the user may navigate throughout the help "book" via both hyperlinks in the text and three buttons at the top of the help window: Contents, Chapter, and Article. An illustration of the First Aid help box is shown below.
To use First Aid, an application needs its own HelpControl object. Simply add one as a child of your GenApplication and set its help type to
HT_FIRST_AID
. The help controller must also be put on the application's active list.
