Reverse lookup of Map file to get Map ID from Map Number

[Guest]

Hi,

I am using Robohelp 10 and output type is web help.

I would like to use the MapFile to get the Map Number from the Map Id for context sensitive help.

The reason being the existing application has an Page identifier for every page.So I could create a Topic with the same 'Page Id' as Map Id .

Now, when  at a particular page, I can use the 'Page Id' to look into the Map file to get the map number and use it for the context sensitive help.

Please suggest. Please let me know if further information is needed.

Thanks in Advance,

Sdesab.

So, if I unserstand correctly: You have mapped the CSH information in

RoboHelp. You now just want to call the help using the id's from the

application instead of the map id's?

If so, you can easily do this (though your developers have to implement

the call in the software):

• http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/using_topic_ids.htm

• http://www.wvanweelden.eu/articles/part/regular-start-page

Please post back if you have any questions.

Greet,

Willam
