Description Jim des Rivieres CLA 2003-04-25 17:54:08 EDT
Support context-sensitive help for plug-ins. All plug-in should provide 
context-sensitive (F1) help for their UI components. However, implementing F1 
support is somewhat cumbersome and error prone. PDE should provide additional 
support in this area, such as assigning help contexts to UI elements, updating 
corresponding XML files, and checking consistency of context ids.
