Tricking the standard Axapta helpsystem

mca

Hi,

We have build an external help system (HTML Help) that we want to use instead of the standard Axapta helpsystem (don't ask why!). We can call this external helpsystem (context-sensitivity) without any problems, but we want to shutdown or disable the standard helpsystem.

How can we do this? Can we disable the standard functionality behind the F1 key and put our own code behind it (own helpsystem)? We can use another funcion key (F10 or F12) to put our own code behind, but the users will then have two helpsystems. This is not clear for end-users so the standard help should be disabled or something.

Can we make just one help page to which every F1 key is jumping to? Can we trick Axapta on some way by replacing the source files in which the help is located? Can we disable or program the help pictogram and the help menu-item, because these also point to the standard helpsystem.

Does someone have an idea or some more information about this topic?

Thanks!

Regards,
Michel

Hi all,

In the method "task" of the class "SysSetupFormRun" it's possible to catch pressed key's or key-combinations. Also the F1-key is catched here and we have programmed it so our new helpsystem is called. The variable "_p0" is set to "0" so the old helpsystem isn't called anymore.

If anyone should need more information about this topic feel free to contact me!
