Application Guide

Do you spend plenty of time by creating complicated help file and implementing it to application?
And do you agree, that nobody read help files?
So use AppGuide and easily show to users right information in right time.

Application Guide is two-way text oriented "helper" system for Delphi applications. This system consists of:

• Guide.exe - small exe application which show independent guide window with help topic, content of help topics is defined in text file using HTML and special tags
• GuideEditor - editor for easier creating of help hypertext file
• two components for easy implementation to application, standard functions can work without line of code

Why to use AppGuide

• AppGuide is not only help window, it is two-way system where user can change application settings or run some actions directly from Guide window
• Guide is displayed in independent window but fully controlled from main applications
• Guide window is typically small and stay on top, so can be shown together with application's windows and user don't have to switch between help and application
• Guide topic can be displayed automatically after displaying of form or on user request (typically after F1 key)
• automatic displaying of each topic can be independently disable by user
• help file is text standalone file, which can be easily created by AppGuideEditor or by any text editor without any compilation
