Summary:
Version 3.1 of the Windows Help engine supports the ability to author
topics to contain a nonscrolling region of text immediately below the
button bar. Text and graphics remain in this fixed location even as
the user scrolls other text in the topic. This nonscrolling region
appears the same as other text, except a thin black line divides the
nonscrolling region from the rest of the text in the topic. This
region can contain any of the formats applicable to a help file (hot
spots, bitmaps, and so forth).
More Information:
To create a nonscrolling region, you must create the \pard\keepn
rich-text format (RTF) token. To accomplish this using Microsoft Word
for Windows version 2.0, perform the following four steps:
1. Select the text to place in the nonscrolling region.
2. From the Format menu, choose Paragraph.
3. In the Paragraph dialog box, select the Keep With Next check box
under Pagination.
4. Choose the OK button or press the ENTER key.
The background color attribute of the nonscrollable region can be
changed in the [WINDOWS] section of the help project (.HPJ) file. The
characteristics of any window in the help file may be specified in the
[WINDOWS] section. Use the following syntax to perform this step:
type-name="caption", (horizontal_position, vertical_position, width,
height), sizing, (client-RGB), (nonscrolling-RGB)
To change the color of the nonscrolling region, modify the final RGB
triple. For example, the following specification will change the
background color of the nonscrolling region to red:
main="",(,,,),0,(,,),(255,0,0)
