Help workshop

[vbgladiator]

Hey,

I am creating help for my application using the HTML Help Workshop. Once I am done, how can I use it from within my application as oppose to just running it on its own.
I want to open the help file with the appropriate help topic depending on where help was called from within the application.
Is there something to reference and use?
Also, is there something for .NET or is it ActiveX?

Thanks,

MA

Take a look at the System.Windows.Forms.Help class.

... you will notice a nice handy Help.ShowHelp method if you take JM's advice...

Thanks.
Are there other help authoring software other than HTML Workshop?

Thanks,

Yes there are. Many better but probably not free. I use Macromedia RoboHelp.
