Winhelp Does not show

Trying to run Help from the Click Event of a menu.-:


RunFile Me.hwnd, "open", "c:\vb\urdu\helpproject.hlp", vbNull, "c:\vb\urdu\", 0


Now my problem is that no help is visible, nothing happens on the menu click and when I press Ctrl-Alt-Delete I see Winhlp32 in the task list.

I suspect that RunFile is a wrapper for the ShellExecute API function. If so you should not pass 0 as the last argument becuase that equals SW_HIDE (or vbHide). Pass vbNormalFocus instead.

VB Code:

RunFile Me.hwnd, "open", "c:\vb\urdu\helpproject.hlp", vbNull, "c:\vb\urdu\", vbNormalFocus

Best regards

that works.
