    Displaying Specific Helpfile Pages

    Does anyone know how to display a specific topic/page from a compiled helpfile?

    I can display the start page of my helpfile using the HtmlHelp API, but I'm having trouble getting it to display at the relevant section, depending where in the program the user pushes the "Help" button.

    Thanks.

    Have you set your HelpContextID Properties for your particular controls. The whole purpose of HelpContextID 's are to connect that particualr control to the particular Help ID you set up.

    You would need to establish Help Context IDs.

    For information on how to do this, see Method 3 in this help file tutorial.
