AME_GETHELPTITLE message

The AME_GETHELPTITLE message is used to get the title of the help message for a plug-in.

Help titles are limited to 255 characters.

Parameters

guid

Pointer to the GUID of the plug-in whose help title is being requested. If a DLL only implements a single plug-in, it can ignore this parameter - although it is good practice to always check it.

wParam

The size of the buffer pointed to by lParam, in bytes.

lParam

Pointer to a character buffer in which the help title should be returned as a NULL-terminated ASCII string.

Return value

The only valid return codes from this message are:

 AME_OK 
 AME_ERROR 
 AME_NOTIMPLEMENTED 

If the code has written a help title to the buffer, then return AME_OK.

If the plug-in does not have a help message, then return AME_NOTIMPLEMENTED.

If an error occurs, return AME_ERROR.

Remarks

Implementing a help message for your plug-in is optional, but highly recommended.

The help title is shown at the top of the help message, and is usually the same as the name of the plug-in.
