HelixChat: A Helix Client/Server Demo | |||
Important |
You must use Helix Client 8.0.1 to access techdb. The current Client is available from the downloads page, or by choosing ‘Check For Updates…’ from the Helix Client menu. |
||
What Is HelixChat? |
In essence, HelixChat is a multiuser chat service, running on Helix Client/Server, and for Helix users, that makes it worthwhile all by itself. HelixChat is part of techdb, our online database for reporting bugs, making feature requests, and more. |
||
What Does HelixChat Do? |
HelixChat serves many purposes:
Because HelixChat is a Helix collection, the chats are preserved and available for review at any time. You don't have to be connected at the same time as other users to carry on a conversation. |
||
Note |
The code for the HelixChat itself is available in the samples library on our file server, in case you want to put it — or the techniques it employs — to use in your own collections. |

HelixChat |
Once you have logged in, the HelixChat window should automatically open. (If it doesn’t, you can select it from the menu bar.) Using HelixChat is pretty simple: identify yourself, type a message, and click the Post Message button. Your comments can now be read by Helix users all over the world! And don't forget: every Friday afternoon (US Eastern Time Zone, -0500 GMT) members of the QSA ToolWorks staff drop by to join in on the conversation. If you want to talk directly to us, this is a great way to do it. |
