Hover Help Overview

Hover Help provides a link between the Carbide IDE and the Symbian OS C++ Developer Library. When activated, Hover Help provides developers with easy access to the API reference documentation. When a user hovers over a C++ API item, such as a class name, the editor shows the documentation for that API reference.

Hover Help uses Developer Library plug-ins. These are Eclipse documentation plug-ins that contain the information displayed when an API reference item is hovered over.

You can download Developer Library plug-ins from the Forum Nokia > Symbian/C++ Documentation website.

NOTE If you experience problems connecting to the site, verify that the connection settings are correct in the Network Connections preference panel before trying again. This is especially important if a proxy setting is required to connect to the internet.
