Hello,
I have provided a dynamic context sensitive help in my Eclipse RCP application using these references:
http://help.eclipse.org/mars/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fua_help_context_xml.htm
https://www.eclipse.org/articles/article.php?file=Article-DynamicCSH/index.html
I have two questions about it:
1. In my case that's a GEF editor, and I like when user selects an element and presses F1, the corresponding help topic to open in the side view. Right now (I guess this is the intended design) the help view presents list of related topics and user needs to click on the topic to see the help content.
Is there a way to directly open a help topic when user presses F1 (instead of first going though the "Related Topics" page)?
2. Right now, when I press F1, the generic Platform Editor help topic is displayed, then I need to click again the element to get the proper context. To overcome that, I'm using a selection listener in the GEF editor and dynamically setting the proper context to the GEF viewer control: PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getHelpSystem().setHelp(viewer.getControl(), contextId);
Thanks and regards,
Dinko
