Re: [dtp-dev] Context help for Connection Details page

One of our developers with experience in this area says:

"The reason the user is having this problem is because they are calling
setHelp too early.  When they are calling it, in addCustomPages(), the
actual window the wizard shows up in doesn't exist yet.  They should be
doing it in their
      public void createPageControls(Composite container)
method."

I have never seen contextual help added to the Wizard class, so I don't
know if it is even possible.  Usually, it is added to each wizard page in
the CreateControl() method.  You can look at the
NewConnectionProfileWizardPage class in the
org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.ui plug-in for an example.

Hi

I am looking for ways to add contextual help to Connection Details
page of New Connection Wizard.
When I try the following in the wizard class, this.getContainer() is
returning null; is it a bug ?

public void addCustomPages() {
                                 super.addCustomPages();
                                 this.mPropPage

.setDriverCategory
("oracle.dbtools.dtp.connectivity.db.driverCategory");
                                 Control c = (Control) this.getContainer();
                                 PlatformUI.getWorkbench( ).getHelpSystem(
).setHelp(c, "oracle-dtp-
core-help-createConnection");
                }

any other of way to get the context help ?

Anthos
