Disappearing Help window

[LannieK]

I have just added help to my C# application, and it invokes the Help window when F1 is pressed just as it should. However, I find that the help window itself disappears or is covered by my app (the app is always maximized) whenever the app loses focus. For reasons I won't go into at the moment, my app creates additional windows that it arranges for itself, but I don't know if this has any bearing on the matter. All I can say for sure is that if my app loses the focus, the Help window disappears. It comes back if I click on the title bar of my app to get focus back, but if I click on the title bar of the Help window, my app loses focus, and the help window goes away again! Does anyone know of a setting I may have made in my app that would cause this behavior?

Just try this code and tell me , whether it served your purpose or not. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"c:\\help.chm"); and don't forget to refer System.Configuration namespace in your code.;) Sreejith Nair [ My Articles ]

That worked just fine. Thanks! Is there any way I can access individual topics this way for context-sensitive help?

You can achive it throught some third party help creator tool Or you can use Microsoft Help Workshop. This you will get through .NET installation.;) Sreejith Nair [ My Articles ]
