linking the help menu to a main menu?

[VBdotnet_newbie]

Hi on my program i have made a menu, i would like a 'Help' tab so when the user selects it, this will link to the 'VB' help menu.

Any ideas on this would be helpful.

Thanks

Use this static method ,

Help.ShowHelp(.....)

I've tried that but im getting this error back

Leading '.' or '!' can only appear inside a 'With' statement.

Help.ShowHelp(.....)

Thanks

I don't get it , you mean you put that code within 'With' statement and it makes error ?

i dont understand, on my menu bar i have an exit tab with this code

Me.Close()

i thought u said put Help.ShowHelp(.....) under the menu tab and this would show?

whats a 'With' statement?

Put this code in the menuItem or whatever control , so when the user clicks it , it shows your help file . Also,look at the overloaded versions of this method .


As with 'With' statement , these links explain it :
With statement
