Displaying complied help files (*.chm)
-
I would like to display a complied html help file (*.chm) in a "normal" browser window, without having to start the hh.exe.The chm file is in the same dir as the normal (index)html. I know this is probably a very stupid question, but coming from a C/C++ world, html etc. is double dutch to me :confused: Thanks in advance Phil bum... and I thought I´d got rid of all the bugs :(

Unfortunately, .chm files are proprietary file formats and require dedicated software components to be "played". Actually, other than relying on the de facto hh player, you need to insert an ActiveX object in an html page so IE can play it. Unfortunately, the only html help related ActiveX installed by the html help run-time is hhctrl.ocx, and it's not insertable. Besides that, the starting API is not there. Read : it cannot be used like the Flash player for instance. May be the html help center[^] has a solution for you.
