WIN32.HLP

[port513]

Does anyone have a recent WIN32.HLP?

My WIN32.HLP 1995-07-11 and is 22MB large, it must be a more recent one out, right?

port, there is no later WIN32.HLP but its very useful for win 32 based code. For later stuff you use MSDN online. Have a look at the forum web site for the links.

The most recent one is MSDN, hutch is right. Unfortunately the offline version is in the Visual Studio 2005 package for about 1500$, so you can browse it online and collect the needed info.

Do they really got that much money?  :bg  :wink

[port513]

Jupps, we get all fun stuff from Microsoft ;)

But I don't know how much they pay per year but they get everything that Microsoft release ;)

My Win32.hlp is dated 2000-01-31, file-size 23.7MB
It's part of a Microsoft Win32SDK Programmers reference, which contains a whole list of other help files including multimedia, winsock, tapi, ole, rpc, etc. (bundle totals 40MB)
I'm afraid I don't strictly remember where I got it from (an msdn link obviously) but I doubt it will still be available anyway.

There seem to be a lot of help files bundled with the platform sdk, I just have to figure out how to use them. These seem to be very recent.

when i downloaded the server 2003 SDK, it came with an uptodate help file,  and the offline version of the API reference is part of it.  The only way I could start it up is to use the shortcut the installation program put on the start menu: it looks something like this:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\help\dexplore.exe" /helpcol ms-help://ms.psdksvr2003sp1.1033

frankly i just prefered one massive help file, instead of all the compiled html BS, and all the extra luggage the SDK brings to the party.  (I downloaded it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A55B6B43-E24F-4EA3-A93E-40C0EC4F68E5&displaylang=en(

Ah I see - never noticed that shortcut.

I have the Visual Studio 2005 bundle with MSDN but the it uses Help 2.0. Anyone got clues as to how to convert it back to CHM or HLP? preferable HLP. I made many attempts e.g. cut/paste/script assistant but the task is daunting! (gave up after 2hrs and gone through only scratching the surface, whole MSDN 1.5Gb).

The extensions are hx*.

why can't m$ be more consistant!

btw. the new help 2.0 is not better imho.

from what I gathered they are abandoning the help 2.0 with yet another new one? arrggg..

If you find out a good way to get only one file, let me know ;)

I also have VS 2005 with MSDN but mine is more than 2GB but I only use about 800MB of it right now.
