How to open a help file

[petezl]

Hi,

How do you open a file such as a help.chm?
Tried the usual WinExec and ShellExecute without success but then realised that .chm files are not executables!

"HH" is the application that opens .chm files :wink
ShellExecute with "hh <chm_file>" should open the given chm file. I'm sure there are other options, but "/?" doesn't give any help.

hello,
The better is to download editmasm in it's US version (recent ).
In declare.inc you will find F1keyPress PROTO ,right clic on it ,move to,and you will find the proc that provide a complete help system for html and hlp files.

Thanks ToutEnmasm,

Tedd, Thanks for the quick reply!
So simple yet it had me going in circles late last night!
Works a treat!

Peter.
