Subject:technical question on what's this? help in Oracle From:Sandy Dryer <sdryer -at- SCTCORP -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 11 Jan 1999 12:18:06 -0500
Hello,
I am starting to work on What's This? help for an Oracle
application (Forms 4.5 or 5.0, still TBD). I'm using RoboHelp to
create the topics, but my questions are more from the developer's
end. I have some information from folks who have done field-level
help in Oracle, but the developer who's working with me says it
looks like these versions only provide help for the item that the
text cursor is currently located in. We are interested in
providing help for all items, including non-navigable ones, if
we can. Has anyone worked on a system like this? If so, do you
have information that you're willing or able to share? Thanks in
advance - Sandy
