Hi,

I have a chm file which I can open easily using Help.ShowHelp. Now I want to
put a combo box on top right hand corner of the application. The idea is
when the user type something here I want to open the help file directly to
the search menu. Is there a way for doing this?

Thanks,

/m
 
Hi,

Not sure if you can do this directly through .Net. We found the .Net wrapper
to be a little restrictive. Instead we wrote our own HtmlHelp class in C#
that provides access to the full HtmlHelp API. It exposes the ability to
work with searches, TOC etc. Also works quite nicely with the .Net
helpProvider.

I'd recommend that you look at working with the HtmlHelp API directly.

Regards,
David.
