    Thumbs up Launching Help file from menu choice... *resolved*

    Hey,

    I have a menu choice of mnuViewHelp. On the mnuViewHelp_click event, I would like to open my CHM (compiled Help file). Is there any other way to launch/open this file besides using the ShellExecute function? Or is the ShellExecute the only way?

    You don't need to post the ShellExecute code, I have that. But I was just wondering if .NET had something built in so that it recognizes Help files, etc.

    thanks,

    Okay. My ShellExecute doesn't work for CHM files. It works fine for exe and batch files.

    So any ideas on how I could open this?

    I found it...

    Windows.Forms.Help.ShowHelp(Me, "<path>\file.chm")

    Sorry bout that, should have searched harder first.
