NXOpen Blockstyler UI: how to change help "destination"

[Csaba Solyom]

Greetings!

I created a couple journals using the Blockstyler UI, and I would like to include a link to their user manuals (pages in Confluence).
Currently if I click the Help (?) icon on the UI, it opens a random documentation page for Simcenter - I can't figure out where this link is configured/set.

Anyone knows how to configure what link that (?) on the UI points to?

Thanks,
Csaba

I found exactly what I was looking for there, thank you!

For posterity, if anyone else reads this thread, here's how I solved it:

1. Create a new text file, with .map extension. E.g. myhelpfile.map.
Contents of this file should look like this, for a simple case:
myhelp = HTML

https://www.google.com/

2. Add the following lines of code into the dialogShown_cb() function:

theUFSession.Help.LoadMapFile("C:\\test\\myhelpfile.map");
theUFSession.Help.PushContext("myhelp");

3. To clear up this help info after the journal is finished, add the following lines of code somewhere before the Dispose() function is called:

theUFSession.Help.UnloadMapFile("C:\\test\\myhelpfile.map");
theUFSession.Help.ClearContext();

After this, hitting F1 or clicking the '?' icon on the UI will load the webpage noted in the .map file.
