Step 4 - Edit hhcolreg.dat
[Integrating CHI with MSDN Collection]

Using a text editor, open hhcolreg.dat. Some of the values used are identical to those found in msdnxxx.col.

Registry notes:

1. Each entry in the collection begins with a <DocCompilation> tag and ends with a </DocCompilation> tag
2. <DocCompID> is identical to the second <TitleString>
3. <DocCompLanguage> is identical to <LangId>
4. <ColNum> is identical to <collectionnum>
5. <TitleLocation> is the full path location of the .chm
6. <IndexLocation> is the full path location of the .chi

Code Example

    <DocCompilation>
        <DocCompId value="rwgd3d8api"/>
        <DocCompLanguage value=1033/>
        <LocationHistory>
            <ColNum value=10001/>
            <TitleLocation value="C:\RW\Graphics\docs\apireference\d3d8.chm"/>
            <IndexLocation value="C:\RW\Graphics\docs\apireference\d3d8.chi"/>
            <LocationRef value=""/>
        </LocationHistory>
    </DocCompilation>
   

Referencing the .chm and .chi in the RenderWare Graphics directory enables .pdf hyperlinking from the API Reference. This means that .pdfs can be opened directly from the .chm and temporarily "embedded" in the .chm.
