Hi Doug,
To show the help programmatically simply call the static Help.ShowHelp
method on the Help class:
Help Class

To have a menu item display the help assign its shortcut to F1. In the
event handler you posted call Help.ShowHelp.
You can use the HelpProvider component to associate context-sensitive help
with your controls:

Hi
I have an app that i have written a chm help file for.
What is the best way to associate that with my help menu and the F1 key.
I have added the file to the project already, just not sure of the best
way to call it. I have tried
private void helpaHelpToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Process.Start("hilda helpa.chm");
}
Is this the best way to call the help file?
Thanks
Doug
