My problem is getting the Contents, Index or Find to display when called from the program. I am using the DLL "Public Declare Function WinHelp Lib "user32" Alias "WinHelpA" (etc. etc.)" and then using the Constants associated with it. The three that are of concern are
Public Const HELP_CONTENTS = &H3&
Public Const HELP_CONTEXT = &H1
Public Const HELP_INDEX = &H3
In the programs Help menu, under Brief Tutorial, for instance, I code
Private Sub mnuTutorial_Click()
HlpReturn = WinHelp(Me.hwnd, HlpFile, &H1, 42)
End Sub
This Sub works fine. It jumps to topic # 42, which is "Brief Tutorial". However, under the programs Help menu, under Contents, I coded the following:
Private Sub mnuContents_Click()
HlpReturn = WinHelp(Me.hwnd, HlpFile, &H3&, 0)
End Sub
This code does not work. It will jump to the default topic in my help file. I have the same problem when I attempt to jump to the Index from my programs menu topics. I have tried everything I can think of with no luck. Where am I going wrong?
Thanks Bob
