help file ?

[kajpek]

Hi !
I have two problems ...
1)
How to do help file for my application like system file ?

2)
I would like to do so that my application invokes that help file.

1) By system file I assume you mean Windows HTML help, so that is what this answer pertains too. First you would have to develop the html help files on your own, possibly with a 3rd party application like WinHelp or HTMLHelp.

2) Then you can easily launch the HH.exe (Windows HTML help display) with the appropriate help file showing by calling the function ShowHTMLHelp from within your applications code (found in the Programmer's Toolbox library, toolbox.fp in cvi\toolslib\toolbox).

I use "Microsoft HTML Help Image Editor" to make help file like .... Microsoft!.
You can use any html editor, and the IExplore to display the files. It's very easy but less powerful than "Microsoft HTML Help Image Editor".
