Step 2 - Edit msdnxxx.col
[Integrating CHI with MSDN Collection]

Using a text editor, open msdnxxx.col. At the beginning of this file, there are two tags, important for integration:

• masterlangid - the language the collection uses
• collectionnum - the collection being edited

Typical values:

   <masterlangid value=1033/>
   <collectionnum value=10001/> 

These values are used in hhcolreg.dat.

Collection notes:

1. Each entry in the collection begins with a <Folder> tag and ends with </Folder>
2. The first <TitleString> is unique and is the tag displayed in the "Contents" of the .chm
3. The second <TitleString> is unique and the collection identifier. It's also used in hhccolreg.dat
4. The tag <LangID> is the language ID, set at the top of the file using <masterlangid>

Code Example

Typical code to add a RenderWare Graphics API Reference is below. The code below is for D3D8 and is added towards the end of msdnxxx.col.

        <Folder>
                <TitleString value="RenderWare Graphics D3D8 API Reference"/>
                <FolderOrder value=17/>
                <Folder>
                        <TitleString value="=rwgd3d8api"/>
                        <FolderOrder value=1/>
                        <LangId value=1033/>
                </Folder>
        </Folder>
