Steps: |
[QC Short Description] Request: Need help for some referenced tool
[QC Description] In some cases documentation contain reference for a tool (like GREP), but not contain any help for its use. QC Entry 46226
[BCB6HELP] - Help contents are available in BCB6 |
Start Documentation E.g. see ms-help://borland.bds5/devwin32/errundefsym_xml.html The documentation suggest to use another inboxed Tool: GREP But, no documentation for help (e.g. with wildcards), while the old IDE's help was contain this like Borland Pascal for Windows 7.0: GREP-like wildcards The GREP-like wildcards are ^, $, ., *, +, [ ], [^], and [-] ^ A circumflex at the start of the string matches the start of a line. $ A dollar sign at the end of the expression matches the end of a line. . A period matches any character. * An asterisk after a character matches any number of occurrences (including zero) of that character. For example, bo* matches bot, b, boo, and also be. + A plus sign after a character matches one or more occurrences (but not zero occurrences) of that character. For example, bo+ matches bot and boo, but not b or be. [ ] Characters in brackets match any one character that appears in the brackets, but no others. For example [bot] matches b, o, or t. [^] A circumflex at the start of the string in brackets means NOT. Hence, [^bot] matches any characters except b, o, or t. [-] A hyphen within the brackets signifies a range of characters. For example, [b-o] matches any character from b through o. \ A backslash before a wildcard character tells Borland Pascal to treat that character literally, not as a wildcard. For example, \^ matches ^ and does not look for the start of a line. |

For example, searching for the C++ hdrstop pragma returns 34 results from Local Help. On the first screen of results, 6 of the 7 entries are for VC++ and only one is for BDS2006. The VC++ hdrstop is returned above the BDS2006 hdrstop entry . QC Entry 39099 |
When using the Search feature in the documentation, VC++ results are returned. 1) Open the documentation explorer 2) Click on the 'Search' tool button 3) In the search edit, enter 'hdrstop' 4) Press the 'Search' button Expected: only results for the tool I'm using will be returned. Actual: Of the 34 'Local Help' enteries returned in this example, the majority appear to be for VC++. The VC++ match for 'hdrstop' tops the list, appearing above the BDS2006 entry. |

Firstly, the font used makes it difficult to determine if "%I32" uses uppercase 'i' or lowercase 'L'.
However, Copy-and-paste reveals that they are actually lowercase 'L' characters. Which is unfortunate, because they should be upper-case 'i' characters!

[QC Short Description] Hard to obtain help in #ifdef
QC Entry 20716 |
For the attached project try getting context help for the #ifdef in unit3.cpp. All I get is 'ifdef' for Delphi and no obvious way to navigate to the C++ help. //////////////////// I have a possible explanation for this! I have Visual Studio .NET installed on my system. Could that be the problem? It was already installed when I installed DeXter. Note:The attached BMP may help shed some light on this. |
