Adding help to my custom stereotypes
« on: November 04, 2014, 07:06:48 am »
Ok, so since I am dealing with a bunch of (largely) novice users, I want to add some help to each of the stereotypes in my MDG.

I would like them to click on the elements and get access to stereotype specific help.

Any clues on how to do this?

I am using 9.3, but will be migrating to 11 in the next month.

Cheers  :)

I'd vote for OnContextMenuChanged. Or just add a help menu in an add-in.

Hey Q

So both of these require me to write an add in in C++ or whatever, right?
My problem is not that I can't write C++ (I can), but that in my work environment, I don't have access to an IDE.

Is there any other way to achieve this?

Cheers

Jays :-)

Ah well, I might have to put a request in for an IDE to do some of this work

Not sure which platform you are using, but if windows and you need a no-cost IDE then check out sharpdevelop.
