Help Provider

A DQMH module offering a context help window that shows information for elements the mouse hovers over, similar to LabVIEW's context help. Content can be pulled from various sources, Dokuwiki among them.

Usage

Help Provider is a DQMH module that can connect to various online sources, e.g. a DokuWiki site. To display context specific documentation to GUI elements, is has to register the references to these elements. When the user hovers over a documented GUI element, it looks up the reference and displays the specific content in an HTML viewer.

It is good practice to have all project documentation on a DokuWiki site. Then every team member can view and edit the documentation and keep it up-to-date. With every start of the application, the Help Provider pulls the current documentation and shows it. As long as the DokuWiki is up-to-date, the documentation inside the app is up-to-date, too.
