    Insert a commondialog box, right click it properties, click the help tab and then fill in the boxes.
    use the command ShowHelp to show the help file:
    Code:
    Commondialog1.Showhelp
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13

    Try this. It will display the Contents of the Help file. If you want to display a specific context, set the HelpContext property to the topic you want to show.

    Code:
    Private Sub Command1_Click()

    'Specify the Help file
    CommonDialog1.HelpFile = "C:\HelpFile.hlp"
    'Display the Contents specified in the [CONTENTS] section of the HPJ file.
    CommonDialog1.HelpCommand = cdlHelpContents
    'Show the HelpFile
    CommonDialog1.ShowHelp

End Sub

    *wow* didn't knew this, I just did it with the ShellExecute API, it makes the program smaller (except when you already have the common Dialog in your prog)
