PopupContext (or PC)

Displays in a pop-up window a topic identified by a specific context number. An entry in the [MAP] section of the Help project file identifies the context.

Syntax

PopupContext("filename", context-number)

PC("filename", context-number)

Parameter Description

filename Name of the Help file that contains the topic to be displayed in the pop-up window. The filename must be enclosed in quotation marks.
context-number Context number of the topic to be displayed in the pop-up window. The context number must be defined in the [MAP] section of the specified Help file’s project file.

Example

The following macro displays in a pop-up window the topic mapped to the “801” context ID number in the PIFEDIT.HLP file:

PopupContext("pifedit.hlp", 801)

Comments

If Windows Help cannot find the specified Help file, it displays an error message.

If the context number does not exist or cannot be found in the [MAP] section, Windows Help displays the Contents topic or the first topic in the Help file. (For more information about context numbers, see “[MAP] Section” in Chapter 16, “The Help Project File.”)
