HTML Help API calls

[unifex]

Hi all,

I'm quite new to the Windows API functions and and am trying to figure out how to open a HTML Help file in a VB application. It seems that API is the way to do this but the help doesn't seem to give much in the way of examples of how exactly to do it. Could anyone give me some help on this please!

Cheers

Unfiex

One way to open it, using the default broswer, is to use the ShellExecute API. There are many examples within this forum and a keyword search for "ShellExecute" should point the way.

Good Luck
