This interface provides access to the 3ds Max Help system.
To display help related to the product, use the MaxSDK::IHelpSystem::ShowProductHelpForTopic() function. The 3ds Max product help can either be displayed from online servers (default behavior) or from a local path. Can be use to get and set help location preferences. Maxscript help is always accessed online. This is not meant to control "Additional Help" (help for installed third-party plug-ins and add-ons).
Possible 3ds Max product help locations.
Enumerator | |
---|---|
OnlineHelp | Help is displayed from Autodesk's servers. Actual online location can not be changed. Help is displayed from a local path. The actual path can be controlled using MaxSDK::IHelpSystem::SetLocalProductHelpPath(). |
