Command: Help for installed third-party packages

Symbol: _cds_icon_content.png

Function: The command opens the directory ...\Online Help\<language code>\  in the File Explorer.

Call: Help menu

Requirement: A customer-specific CHM help file is located in the offline CHM help directory.

This command is used to make customer-specific CHM help files accessible from the CODESYS user interface. The help files can then be opened using the Windows CHM viewer.

The standard installation of CODESYS SP21 includes additional add-ons which still provide old CHM help files. These files are also stored in the directory ...\Online Help\<language code>\. As long as no additional, customer-specific CHM file is stored in this directory, the command remains deactivated.

Important

The CODESYS CHM viewer is no longer available in SP21. It is no longer possible to merge CHM files.

It is possible to integrate additional HTML help pages into the CODESYS Offline Help. For more information, see: Extending CODESYS Offline Help with Your Own Contents
