Example: Add text pop-ups to an image

You can add pop-up help topics to an image by using an image map in conjunction with the HTML Help ActiveX control. This lets you associate a pop-up window with each region of an image. When a user clicks an area of the image, a pop-up window will display the topic that goes with that area. This example is based on the TextPopup method.

The steps of the process are as follows:

  1. Create an image map.
  2. Write text for pop-up windows.
  3. Add the image to your project (.hhp) file.
  4. Insert the HTML Help ActiveX control in your HTML file.
  5. Add hyperlinks to each region of the image map.

Note

  • You can use this example with both uncompiled HTML files and compiled help (.chm) files.
