Features

Easy setup Add any .NET control to your form, and drag-and-drop the C1DynamicHelp component to your form. An extender property is added to the .NET control allowing you to easily link to a help topic.

Smooth user interface integration DynamicHelp for WinForms improves the usability of your application by offering immediate and relevant Help, as it is needed, right within the application. A separate Help system doesn't need to be opened and searched.

Harmonious developer and Help author collaboration with topic mapping Software developers can map topics to controls at design time, or Help Authors can use authoring mode, a special run-time mode with a simple interface, to do the mapping themselves. No additional code needs to be added once DynamicHelp for WinForms is integrated with the application.

Quickly activate/deactivate authoring mode The developer can specify a way for Help authors to quickly activate and deactivate authoring mode for topic mapping. Any method can be used, such as a keystroke combination, environment variable, .config file, and so on.
