Copying the Help Menu Resources

  • Article

First, copy Help-related menu resources from the HasHelp project to your project.

To copy Help menu resources to your project

  1. Open your project's .rc file and the HasHelp.rc, which are located in their respective project directories. These files display the contents of the Resource View panes for both your project and HasHelp.

  2. Select IDR_MAINFRAME from the Menu folder from both resource files.

    Right-click at the top of the first IDR_MAINFRAME - Menu window and select New Horizontal Tab Group. This will allow you to view both menu windows.

  3. Click the Help Topics menu item in the HasHelp Help menu. Then hold down the SHIFT key while you click the separator below the Help Topics item. Release the SHIFT key.

    This selects the menu item and separator.

  4. Hold down the CTRL key and use the mouse to drag the highlighted menu items to the Help menu in your project's .rc file, above the About menu item. Release the mouse button and the CTRL key.

    This copies the menu item and the separator to your project.

  5. Close the two IDR_MAINFRAME menu-editing windows.

  6. Repeat steps 3 through 6, for the Help menu using the application-specific menu resource, IDR_your_projTYPE.
