Program Readme for the What project.

What.hlp is for use with the included VB project program named disable.
The project shows how What's This? Help can be used to show a popup for a disabled control.
The What.hlp project file (.hpj) includes the necessary provisions for the helpfile.

Keep all files in the same folder and this sample VB program will run, just like it is.

If you want to add to this project and helpfile then the helpfile will need to be re-compiled with your additions. The Windows Standard Help Workshop is included on the VB6 Install CD. Once installed, this help project can be compiled again.

To compile:
1. Copy all files to a new folder.
2. Open the What Draft.Doc and save it as a Rich Text File with the name What.rtf in the same folder. Never open it.
3. Close What Draft.Doc and open What.hpj and click on the Save and Compile button on the bottom right corner.
4. A log file will indicate if there were any errors during the compile.
5. If no errors, then close the log, and the compiled help file is ready to run.

This project can also be provisioned with API and used as a regular help file. As is, it shows how to use What's This? Help that references a .hlp file for a project.
