Help display with viewHelp

The viewHelp option presents an elegant way to display helpfiles within your R/3 screen.
It can be used with the image and mark command. It opens a special helpwindow at the right hand side of your R/3 screen to display an html or rtf file. This window closes as soon as the user mouseclicks on any inputfield on the screen.

A mouseclick on the yellow question mark at the end of the toolbar opens the viewhelp window in a predefined position.
The window can be resized with the mouse. It closes as you click on any of the R/3 inputfields.

If you create hyperlinks using the URL SAP:// you can enter values into chosen inputfields with a simple mouseclick. The hyperlink of hotspot "Repair order" looks like this:

<a href="SAP://Order%20type:AD02">Repair order</a>

Html Editors (such as MS Frontpage) automatically insert the "%20" in the hyperlink.

In your GuiXT script the code is fairly simple:

Image (toolbar) "help.gif" ViewHelp="iw31.e.html"

If you place the image in the toolbar it should have a size of 18 x 18 pixels.

Please note: Instead of writing a small script for each screen where you want to offer your own html help, you can specify a "Help views" directory in GuiXT profile. See Help Views Directory for the details.
