ABSTRACT

The Child frame-based Help menu has two entries, About DiagramEng and Using DiagramEng: the  former displays a dialog window with program, version number, and copyright information, and the latter needs to present the instructions on how to use the DiagramEng application to the user, complete with a discussion of all menu and toolbar-based functionality and typical realworld engineering examples. The instructions should be presented as a Portable Document Format (PDF) document and hence would require the user to have Adobe Reader [1] installed on the client machine. The particular sections of the Using DiagramEng topics are Introduction, Menus, Toolbars, Examples, Output, and Non-functional items. Finally, the Using DiagramEng instructions are presented to the user by calling CreateProcess() to create a process invoking the Adobe “Acrobat.exe” executable and opening the PDF document.
