VIP 11 Context-sensitive help needs help

Unread post by Harrison Pratt »

My old faithful friend 'F1' is very unfaithful in Vip11.
Most of the time it doesn't work, sometimes it returns a useful message, and this morning it would intermittently return the help message for a nearby word.

It did this on the initial installation version and does it on the latest update as well.

Is there a difference if you build the project and then use F1 again?

Rebuilding didn't help.

However, I got a clue that led me to the problem:
  • F1 works OK on the VIP PFC class files (e.g., string.pro)
Ahah!
  • I changed the project files to "Always keep on this device" for OneDrive and now F1 behaves as designed on my project files.

I went through this exercise before and failed to remember it.
