Hi,

is the help button still not available for custom reports?

According to a thread from 2009 it was supposed to be included in one of the next releases...

In case it is already available: How do I add/create a help-file/where do I find the HelpID?

Best,
Maik

Hi Maik,

for the current ARIS Service Release 3, 2012 it is available:

Report class DialogTemplate - Method HelpButton

HelpButton ( String p_sHelpID )

Inserts a "Help" button in the dialog. A dialog may only contain a maximum of one Help button.

The Help button always has the dialog identifier "Help". The position and size of the button are determined automatically.
The parameter "p_sHelpID" can be a predefined HelpID or an arbitrary HTML text.
In this case the text must begin with "<html>" and end with "</html>";

Cheers,

Jens

Thanks Jens for this info.

Unfortunately this doesn't work for me.

Is there a list of predefined HelpID's? If so, where can I find it?

What about the "arbitrary HTML text"? Must this text be defined with a variable or should it be contained in a file? Both cases do not work for me. If it must be in a file, where should this be located.

TIA for your answer,

Han
