nText-only buttons are half as large as graphical buttons, so more information fits in the Help window.Windows Help has four standard buttons: Contents, Search, Back, and History. The buttons appear in the button bar, just below the menu bar in the Help window. The standard buttons function as navigation controls, helping users access the information in the Help file (Figure 1.25).
To choose a Help button
1.nClick the button you want.
Or press the underlined letter in the button name.
The Help button bar in version 3.1 is different from the version 3.0 button bar in two ways: the Browse buttons (<< and >>) have changed from standard buttons to optional buttons, and the buttons have changed from graphical buttons to text-only buttons. The latter change was necessary because:
nText-only buttons are half as large as graphical buttons, so more information fits in the Help window.
nText-only buttons reduce the size of the Help application (WINHELP.EXE), giving you more space for your Help file.
nText-only buttons simplify the process of adding custom buttons to the interface and of translating the existing buttons into foreign languages for international markets of your application and Help.
The Help button bar behaves the same as a standard menu bar: buttons wrap if the window becomes too narrow to fit all the buttons horizontally. The buttons continue to wrap until they are all stacked vertically. If the buttons still do not fit in the window, Windows Help reduces the size of the buttons and truncates the button text, if necessary.
