I am using Qt 4.6 so do C++.

I have a User Manual (.chm) for my application which has the help required for the users to run the application. Now I want this help to be integrated into my application, so that when the user selects for help from the application, the user manual will be opened with the corresponding help page displayed. In this way I can make use of the already available manual and users will find easy to probe through the document. (since it is familiar)

The user manual file is in the .chm format which has corresponding search keywords, which can be used to display the corresponding page when selected from the application. Just similar to F1 help in any of the windows application.

Is it possible to do this in Qt or C++? Or

What are the other ways through which the help can be integrated in the application?

Any pointers regarding this are welcome..

    Yes, it’s possible. The help system infrastructure was designed to integrate with normal Win32 development in Visual Studio, but this is not technically necessary. Basically you just call HtmlHelp(GetDesktopWindow(), "Yourhelp.chm", HH_HELP_CONTEXT, IDYourCurrentContext);.
