Hi there,
I have a Visual Studio 2010 extension for which I would like to provide some help content that is built using the SandCastle Help File Builder. My VS extension contains several WPF forms,and my goal is: when the users of my extension hit F1 when those forms are in focus, I would like for Visual Studio to launch Help Viewer 1.x to show the help content I created.
The problem is I have not been able to figure out how to integrate this help content with my extension. That is, even with my help content already installed by the Help Library Manager, I cannot get it to show in the Help Viewer 1.x. There must be a place in my Extension project where I can specify what help topic to launch when user hits F1, but I have not found this. (I don't see any help-related settings in the source.extension.vsixmanifest file...)
I see there is a tutorial video for integrating help for Visual Studio 2010 Shell, which shows that the .pkgdef file and the .vsct can be customized to specify which help content topic is launched for that shell. However, I have not found any tutorial for Visual Studio Extension. The same thing can't be done for my extension project since there is no .pkgdef file to modify.
Is what I'm trying to do possible? Please share your knowledge. Thank you!
