To create a header file

  1. Open Microsoft Notepad or another text editor.
  2. Create an entry for each symbolic ID, followed by its corresponding numeric ID, using the following format:

    #define IDH_symbolicID    1000

    Where symbolicID is the symbolic ID for part of the program (such as a dialog box or control) and 1000 is the numeric ID. The numeric IDs in the header file are used only by the HTML Help compiler. The compiler maps numeric IDs in the header file to help topics.

  3. Save the file with a .h extension.

The following sample header file is taken from HTML Help Workshop:
