Question

Just a quick question but is it possible to open a helpProvider?

All I want is open a CHM help file when I click a button in addition to the F1 key?

If it’s not possibly anyone know of a work around?

Thanks Peter

I think you mean a Windows Forms Application.

There is a Windows Forms Control called HelpProvider that does it for you.

System.Windows.Forms.HelpProvider hlpProvider = new System.Windows.Forms.HelpProvider();
hlpProvider.SetShowHelp(this, true);
// Help file
hlpProvider.HelpNamespace = "helpFile.chm";

You can open your help file with

Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "helpFile.cfm";
proc.Start();
