Using the Application-Configured Button

The quick help dialog's application-configured button lets you add custom behavior to any quick help dialog. This button can be used for anything you want, but its intended purpose is to provide a path to more help in one of these two ways:

Lets the user progressively ask for more information. This is sometimes called progressive disclosure. In this case, the default button label (More) is appropriate.
Lets the user open a general help dialog for general browsing of the application's help volume. In this case, Browse... is the most appropriate button label.

To Enable the Application-Configured Button

Get the button's ID.
Add an activate callback to the button.
Manage the button.

Example

The following code segment gets the button's ID, assigns a callback, and manages the button. It assumes that quickHelpDialog was just created.

Widget  moreButton;
moreButton = DtHelpQuickDialogGetChild (quickHelpDialog,
                                     DtHELP_QUICK_MORE_BUTTON);
XtAddCallback (moreButton, XmNactivateCallback,
               MoreHelpCB, NULL);
XtManageChild (moreButton);
