The file is found (sorry for the delay) but it only shows when a button is clicked or a UI is selected, not for the page object itself.

The examples are for C# which uses different syntax for settings. For VB try this:

Source={x:Static self:MySettings.Default}

Last time I checked, you were not able to change this behaviour in explorer (there has been a new release since, so this could have been updated). You will have to use another key combo that is not used by the xbap host.

All things worked, like you explained it. But I have problems in an XBAP application. When I hit the F1 key, my helpfile started with the Internet Explorer Help :) How can I manage this? I want only my helpfile :)

I think I'm still missing something. I created a little test app to and can't get it to work. Here is what I have:

app.config:

</appSettings>

</configuration>

xaml:

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1"

xmlns="schemas.microsoft.com/.../presentation"

xmlns:x="schemas.microsoft.com/.../xaml"

xmlns:self="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1;assembly=WpfApplication1"

Title="{Binding Source={x:Static self:Properties.Settings.Default},

Path=Title, Mode=TwoWay}"

Height="{Binding Source={x:Static self:Properties.Settings.Default},

Path=ApplicationHeight, Mode=OneWay}"

Width="{Binding Source={x:Static self:Properties.Settings.Default},

Path=ApplicationWidth, Mode=OneWay}"

Once again, I appreciate your help.

This should also work for a page element. Have you declared the namespace mapping between .net ans xaml correctly?

Would this work for a page element also? I am having issues where I get the following message "Cannot find type 'Properties.Settings'. Type names are case sensitive".

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Carlos,

The command binding takes care of intercepting the F1 key. Most likely the control can't find the 'ius.chm' file. How is it included in the project? If I recall correctly, they should be included with a build action of 'content', but you can also try "Resource' or 'Embedded Resource'.

I put this to may page:

<Page x:Class="IUS.PaginaInicial" Title="Jurisprudencia y Tesis Aisladas"

xmlns="schemas.microsoft.com/.../presentation"

xmlns:x="schemas.microsoft.com/.../xaml"

xmlns:jc="clr-namespace:JaStDev.ControlFramework.Controls;assembly=JaStDev.ControlFramework"

WindowTitle="Jurisprudencia y Tesis Aisladas"

ShowsNavigationUI="False" MinWidth="600"

MinHeight="500" jc:Help.Topic="Inicio"

jc:Help.HelpFile="ius.chm">

<Page.CommandBindings>

</Page.CommandBindings>

and code like you put above... but when pressed F1 nothing happens!!!! how i "intercept" the F1 or set the way the help is called?

Hello Carlos,

yes, the help control has been tested with xbap applications. The only trick to keep in mind is that the help files need to be available in the xbap resources (otherwise the system can't find the file). Using windows, Pages, UserControls doesn't make a difference.

Have you tried this on a XBAP app???

or with a Page object?
