hi every one
can any one tell me how win_api_shell.winhelp works in Oracle 10g
here is the code which i am using
declare
	--
	CurrItem varchar2(30) := get_item_property(:system.cursor_item, item_name) ;
	--
	x number ;
	--
	--cursor c1
	--
  cursor c1 is
	select a.descr
	  from MmsPath a, MmsProgName b
	 where a.Co 			= :B0.Co
	   and b.ProgName = :B0.HelpFile
	   and a.Co 			= b.Co
	   and a.Path 		= b.Path ;
	--	 
	VPath	varchar2(50);
	--
begin
	--
	--checking if some error is shown
	--
	if :B0.LastError is not null then
		--
    --showing help for the specific error messages
    --error number will be passed as parameter.
    --
		ShowHelp(:B0.LastError) ;
		--
	else --if :B0.LastError is not null 
		--
		--if cursor is in some text field
		--
		if CurrItem is not null then
			--  
			-- openning cursor c1 for getting physical path of the 
			-- help file.
			--
			open c1 ;
			fetch c1 into VPath ;
			close c1 ; -- closing cursor c1 ;
			--
			--Calling Function for getting help topic's ID
			--stored against a particular field of block.
			--
			--Parameters for this procedure are
			--
			--1. Block Name
			--2. Field Name
			--	
			x := GetHelpId(get_item_property(:system.cursor_item, block_name), CurrItem) ;
			--
		  --using windows api to display the help of the specific topic
		  --
--		  win_api_shell.winhelp(VPath||:B0.HelpFile||'.hlp', x,win_api.help_context) ;
--	get_windows_directory(VPath||:B0.HelpFile||'.hlp', x,'win_api.help_context') ;
           Host(VPath||:B0.HelpFile||'.hlp', x);--win_api.help_context) ;
			--
		end if ; --if curritem is not null 
		--
	end if ; --if :B0.LastError is not null 
	--
end ;

Googling 'hlp from oracle forms 10g' gave me http://www.ioug.org/networking/forums/messageview.cfm?catid=2&threadid=6525 - you could try contacting the person directly.

What sort of error messages are you getting?

The link is still working for me. Please try accessing it again. I'm sorry but it has been agreed by the moderators of this forum not to send copies of websites to members as it probably violates copyright. I suggest making a hard or soft copy of this thread and trying to access the site from your home PC. So that you can read the link from a hard copy is the reason I paste the full link.
