The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1

SUMMARY
A help file built for version 3.1 of the Microsoft Windows Help application can extend the Windows Help application via a number of built-in macro commands. These macros allow the help file author to create a new menu item or button and to delete an added item once it is no longer needed.

However, one cannot use the DeleteItem and DestroyButton macros to remove a standard menu item from the Windows Help application's menus or to remove a button from the standard button bar.

The standard menu items are fixed by the Windows Help application; however, one can modify the behavior of the standard buttons via the ChangeButtonBinding macro.

For more information on Windows Help macros, see Section 15.4 (starting on page 302) of the &quot;Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit: Programmer's Reference, Volume 4: Resources&quot; manual or the MACROHLP application provided with the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) in the advanced samples directory (by default, C:\WINDEV\SAMPLES).
