How to get help on syntax ?

(1/2) > >>

tonycstech:
Is there a way to open up a list of every available code that i can input into the editor ?
Or get help on selected code with pressing some shortcut ?
For example i want to make a window.
So i press F1 for help and look up syntax for window related category.

Or i highlight the word "while" and press F1 and help menu pops explaining what that means and shows examples etc.
Is there such thin in codeblocks ?
Do i need another IDE that comes with help on C++ ?
thanks !

Its nice to see that when typing a command such as MessageBox(, as soon as i start typing it, it shows entire statement but does not explain a single parameter.

There are IDE's for other languages that explane every single parameter as you type it in.
For example AUTOIT using Scite editor guides you every step of the way.

Here are some example images.

Have you tried the help plugin: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Help_plugin ?
It is not as polished as in your requirements, but might be helpful.

tonycstech:
its listed as activated but i dont know how it works.
The WIKI pages says i can add help file, but where is this file ?
I was only able to find C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\share\CodeBlocks\docs\codeblocks.chm

oBFusCATed:
C::B is an IDE which can be used with many compilers, libraries and frameworks.
Thus we don't ship any help files. You have to provide them yourself.

tonycstech:
So what is the name of the C++ own IDE that provides help ?
