.chm files program help

[DarthCooper]

Hi,
Okay, I have finished my wonderful program (!). Now to add a little help for the user. I used HTML Help Workshop and got my little .chm file compiled and everything. My question is, how do I load this up from VB? I am doing it the traditional way, from the drop down menu bar, Help | Contents and Index.

But how? Also what files do I need to ship with the program?

Thanks!

Pete

This class will get you going.

Set the CHMFile property to the location of your help file.
Call HHDisplayContents to display Contents Tab.

Function declaration:

Declare Function HtmlHelp Lib "hhctrl.ocx" Alias "HtmlHelpA" _
                            (ByVal hwndCaller As Long, _
                            ByVal pszFile As String, _
                            ByVal uCommand As Long, _
                            ByVal dwData As Long) As Long

Calling the help:

Dim hwndHelp as Long
hwndHelp = HtmlHelp(Me.hWnd, App.HelpFile, HH_DISPLAY_TOPIC,0)

App.Helpfile is set in Projects|Properties
