AlertDialogWithHyperlink and contextual help IDs?

[Stefan Bender]

Dear developers,

 

is it possible to use a contextual help ID instead of a URL in functions 

 

virtual void            VCOM_CALLTYPE AlertDialogWithHyperlink(const TXString& message, const TXString& adviceBeforeLink, const TXString& linkTitle, const TXString& linkURL, const TXString& adviceAfterLink) = 0;
virtual void            VCOM_CALLTYPE AlertCriticalWithHyperlink(const TXString& text, const TXString& adviceBeforeLink, const TXString& linkTitle, const TXString& linkURL, const TXString& adviceAfterLink) = 0;
        virtual void            VCOM_CALLTYPE AlertInformWithHyperlink(const TXString& text, const TXString& adviceBeforeLink, const TXString& linkTitle, const TXString& linkURL, const TXString& adviceAfterLink, bool minorAlert = false, const TXString& category = "", const TXString& item = "", const TXString& checkboxOverrideText = "") = 0;

 

?

 

This would be very helpful. We would like to direct users to certain pages of our help system without having to update the links in our code each year or whenever the page structure of the online help changes.

 

Thanks for any help!

I think that’s something you need to implement on the server side, routing to help pages based on a query. The help system I use has this as a feature, but I haven’t investigated it yet. 
 

On the VW side, you just need a helper function that constructs the link.
