Specifying Your Own Callback for Windows

You cannot set the hiHelpAction property on windows. If you want to specify your own help callback for windows, you can override the default Help button with a pulldown menu and add your own callback as a menu item.

To specify your own callback for windows,

  1. Write your callback function.
  2. Create a menu item with hiCreateMenuItem() and specify your callback function as the ?callback argument.
  3. Create a menu with hiCreateMenu() and specify "Help" as the menu title.
  4. Insert the menu in the window banner with hiInsertBannerMenu().
    Specify 99 as the value of the x_menuPosition argument to ensure that the Help menu is displayed at the right end of the banner.
