how do i active my own windows helpfile ?

I wrote a LISP-routine, but how do i activate my own windows helpfile
while pressing the F1 key?
(And I don't want to use a dialogbox or getkword)

Martin,

In your menu (assuming standard acad menu or mns) there is a section with a heading:

***ACCELERATORS

Search for this and add your own definition for F1, for example:

["F1"]'ZOOM;P

This should override your current definition.

Hi Martin,

Changing the responses of standard keys like the F1 key is not a good
approach as it will only serve to confuse users who expect to get AutoCAD
help from the F1 key.

Whenever you create your own customisation you should add it to your
personal customisation menu. This menu can quite readily have "Help" as the
first item in the menu and you call the help related to your customisation
there.

Have a look into the function SETFUNHELP

Code:

(setfunhelp "C:LABELS" "G-LABELING.HLP" "Labels")

(defun C:LABELS	(/ olderr

 

Thanks Luis.
