Documentation for your end user is provided as a separate file, but is included here for your convenience.

 

Note:  The end user documentation is over 5600 words and includes screen shots of all controls as well as detailed explanations of their operations!

 

 

Note: The Help & Manual project file is provided so you can edit it.  If you don't own or use H&M and need HTML output instead - just contact us for it.

 

The ScanManager.chm file opens like this:

Note:  About the term "Scan Manager"...

 

This portion of the documentation and all of the screens and messages displayed in ProScan use the generic title of the "Scan Manager".  This makes it simple for you to integrate into your application "as is" or by searching and replacing "Scan Manager" with your own name.

 

When the user presses the F1 key from the main ProScan screen they see:

When the user presses the F1 key from the Scanner setup screen they see:

A note about ProScan End User HTML help...

 

The ProScan Global Extension template has a checkbox to toggle support for this On/Off in the ProScan and Scanner Setup procedures.  By default it is turned Off.

 

If you check the box, then the templates will write the interface to Clarion HTML help using the file ScanManager.chm and it will set the Topic selections automatically for you.

 

If you integrate the default help into your own file or use a different file name, then do NOT check this box.  You will then be responsible for setting the help file and topic and for adding code to initialize it in the ProScan procedures.

If you turn this procedure On, then you need to add the Clarion global extension for HTML help to your application or you will get errors.
