*.hlp files
-
How can I launch .hlp files from my application? (IE user clicks "help" button it luanches the help file). Thanks
You could try the
ShellExecuteWin32 API function (see the MSDN docs) - using the path to the help file as the_lpFile_parameter &"open"as the_lpVerb_parameter should do the trick - and it also works for pretty much any file you want to open that has a file association (which is nice). Alternatively (he says, after looking in the MSDN docs), you could try theWinHelpAPI function - never used it myself.
