Dynamic Help SDK

HelpStudio is the first Help Authoring tool to include Dynamic Help authoring features, including an SDK for including a Dynamic Help window in your application. Dynamic help windows are a highly effective way of providing context sensitive help to your users. The HelpStudio Dynamic Help Editor can create output for use with the redistributable HelpStudio Dynamic Help control or the Visual Studio.NET IDE.


Sample Dynamic Help Window

HelpStudio includes an integrated Dynamic Help editor that is used to identify which Topics should appear in the Dynamic Help window for different 'Dynamic Help Contexts' in your application.
