How embed the online help in the application

zheka777

Hello all,
I am very stupid and I dont understand how to embed the online help in the application.

I have created the collection file "colelction.qhc", but I dont know how to embed it in my Application.

If I click on the menu "Help" I should see now the Help TextBrowser....

Can someone explain me how can I do this please?

Hello, first you need a process to execute the Qt assistant. Then assign an action to menu help item, so you have:

in mainwindow.h
@QProcess helpProcess;@

@void on_actionHelp_triggered();@

in mainwindow.cpp
@void MainWindow::on_actionHelp_triggered()
{
const QStringList arguments = QStringList()
<< QLatin1String("-collectionFile")
<< QLatin1String("help.qhc")
<< QLatin1String("-enableRemoteControl");

helpProcess.start(QLatin1String("assistant"), args);

if(!helpProcess.waitForStarted())
{  
   // error control
}

}@

Note that help.qhc file must be in the same folder that your application executable.
