[DUG] ShellExecute

[John Bird]

Aha now I know where the help file is, this is another way to add it to the
Tools Menu:
 
In the Tools Menu, Configure Tools and Add,
 
Title:  Delphi5 Win32SDK
Program:  WINHLP32
Working Dir:  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\MSHelp
Parameter:  WIN32.HLP

Anyone know how?"
 
I'm sure there's a way using Tools api thingie,
 
But I have resorted to two methods, one is calling an exe from Tools, that
I've made myself that lets me drag and drop shortcuts on to it and it
remembers them under categories for launching later - very simplistic but
effective and hopefully some what future proofs me - you can have the code
if you want it - only made it for myself in D4 days so it is very simple.
 
The second more immeadiate solution is to create batch files(!) and you can
add these to the 
 
 MENU:   tools/ configigure tools  BUTTONS: Add / Browse
 
Obvious but worth mentioning: -  change the file filter to *.*
 
I've got one called "win32.bat" and all that is in it is 
 
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\MSHelp\win32.hlp"
 
Windows does the rest!
