Greetings,

I have a complied html help file and if I open it from any pc it displays
the content without issues and I can see the following standard tabs :-
Contents, Index, Search & favourites.

Within my vb.net application it displays the HTML help file via code below.
'Show the index page of the help file

Help.ShowHelpIndex(Me, HelpProvider1.HelpNamespace)


There is no problem with the contents but the tabs on the left hand side
aren't drawn correctly and are not labelled.
There is FOUR of them but they are NOT labelled Contents, Index, Search &
favourites.

I have tried removing the help provider component, recompiling the HTML help
file and rebooting but always the help file is displayed and all the tabs
functions fine but the FOUR tabs aren't labelled and appear slightly
disfigured in appearance.

I googled for other users with the same issue or reported bugs and found
nothing.

Has anyone else heard about this happening to anyone else or experienced it?

Thanks
Rob
 
In the end I used another authoring tool and compiled it (.chm)

Then all was ok, I blame the authoring tool (pocketchm) :-)
