change help file

Hi,

I made you a custom snippet that shows most capabilities to display help in a GUI.

This is SKILL++, if you don't understand everything that is going on, feel free to ask questions.

I can also make an equivalent default SKILL snippet if you need:

(inScheme
(let ()

  (defglobalfun example_gui ()
    "Display an 'Example GUI'."
    (let ( ( form (create_form) )
           )
      ;; Set form help callback
      (setf form->hiFormSym->hiHelpAction 'example_gui_help)
      ;; Display form under the mouse
      (hiDisplayForm form -1:-1)
      ))

  (defun create_form ()
    "Create the form and return it."
    (hiCreateLayoutForm (gensym 'example_form) "Example GUI"
      (hiCreateFormLayout 'main_layout ?items (list
          (hiCreateLabel ?name 'label ?labelText "<font size='+2' color='red'>Dummy Text...</font>")
          ;; Add a field wich displays a tooltip when hovered
          (let ( ( field (hiCreateStringField
                           ?name     'input
                           ?prompt   "Input"
                           ?defValue "This field displays a tooltip when hovered."
                           ) )
                 )
            ;; Tooltip is set here, it can be HTML
            (setf field->hiToolTip "<font size='+2'> <b>This is bold!</b><br/> <font color='red'>This is red!</font> </font> <br/>
This text is a bit smaller...")
            field
            )
          ));main_layout
      ))

  (defglobalfun example_gui_help ( @optional _obj_type _obj_name _obj_detail _more_detail @rest _ )
    "Custom help callback."
    (hiDisplayAppDBox
      ?name         (gensym 'example_form_help_dbox)
      ?dboxBanner   "Example GUI Help"
      ?dboxText     "Example GUI help goes here..."
      ?dialogType   (symeval 'hicInformationDialog)
      ?buttonLayout 'Close
      ))

  ));SKILL++ closure

(example_gui)
