"control help window"

[Eyecheck2003]

I am having trouble using this function for some reason. First time I have used this so probably something very dumb.

My understanding was that I could have this read in an HTML file. I am just trying to test out. So I created help.html

Then I placed in my c folder. In a test vi, I provided the path c:\help.html and I set the mode to contents (actually tried all of them). I keep getting a error 1 message.

Then I thought that this required the comile help files so I set the path to one of the files in Labviews online help. Same error.

I am trying to learn how to do this to include a help file with my applications. HELPPPPPPPPPPPP

The "Control Help Window" only has "Show" and "Top Left Corner" inputs. You are probably talking about the "Control Online Help" function. You can use this function to display a compiled help file or HTML files in a web browser.
I've included a VI, compiled .hlp file, and an .html file. Both of these can be opened with the VI. The VI was created with LabVIEW 6.1

Ok, now I feel stupid. Thanks for your help. I am not quite sure why I could not get it to work but this is easy.

Thanks,
