Application Help Buttons

	Developer Information
	This section is for developers. Documentation authors generally do not need to know this material.

Most GNOME applications will have Help buttons. These are most often seen in Preference windows. (All Preference windows should have Help buttons.) Most Help buttons will connect to the application manual, although some may connect to special documents. Because the Help buttons do not generally have their own special documentation, the documentation author(s) do not need to do very much. However, the application author must be careful to guarantee that the application correctly opens the help documentation when the Help buttons are pressed.

To make the Help buttons call the correct document in the GNOME Help Browser the developer should add code based on the following example:

gchar *tmp;
tmp = gnome_help_file_find_file ("module", "page.html");
if (tmp) {
  gnome_help_goto(0, tmp);
  g_free(tmp);
}
    

	NOTE
	The example above is in the C language, please refer to other documentation or forums for other GNOME language bindings.
