Adding context sensitive help to a Kiosk2Go control

You can specify help text for individual controls that can be viewed by the Kiosk2Go user. This can help the user to understand when they need to use the control, or explain what will happen if they change the value of a control, for example.

You can add help text directly to the properties of a control, or you can store the help in an external file that must be added to the NWare project before deploy time. Using an external file adds flexibility, allowing the file to be worked on independently of the NWare project, and managed using a help tool, such as Author-it or Flare.

Notes:

• When you add or change help text, the new text will not be available in Kiosk2Go until you have recompiled and deployed / emulated the project. Changing the text does not automatically trigger a recompile, you must hold down SHIFT and click the Deploy button or Emulate button.
• The Control Accepts User Input check box must be selected on the Style tab of the Control Properties dialog box in order for the help to display.
