Hi,
some months before I bought FF3 I had installed a demo from FF2.9.
There was an own Helpfile for the FireFly-Functions. This was great!
In FF3 I'm missing this file.

I have added the FF2.9 functions helpfile to the tools menu, for there is some helpful information in it.
(This is of course not the answer you were looking for.) ;)
There is no dedicated help file for the functions. The "help" is built into the Library itself under the "Description" tab.
I have often wished that the Libraries Description would also have an example to show the syntax of the function more clearly. For instance:
Gets the Check State Of a CheckBox Of a ListView item
hWndControl: Handle Of Control (e.g. HWND_FORM1_LISTVIEW1)
iRow: The zero-based row To retrieve.
Returns: %TRUE If checked Or %FALSE If unchecked
add an example:
Example: rc = FF_ListView_GetCheckState (HWND_FORM1_LISTVIEW1)
For a someone new this might add the clarity they need. Plus it would make it easier to cut and paste. Example code for each function would be a big help to new users, IMO.
Another feature I would like to have would be to be able to highlight a FF function and press F1 to go directly to the information about that function in the function library.

I agree, that would be helpful.
Ever use a little program called API-Guide? http://allapi.mentalis.org/agnet/apiguide.shtml (http://allapi.mentalis.org/agnet/apiguide.shtml) No longer being updated but it has lots of VB examples that are still very useful.
