Help.ShowHelp(M e, tempFileFullPat h, "Shortcuts.htm" ) does not work

[Academia]

My .chm file is an embedded resource so when I use it
GetManifestReso urceStream returns a Stream which I convert into a temp file.

Then I try

Help.ShowHelp(M e, tempFileFullPat h, "Shortcuts.htm" )

which does not work.

It shows the Context pane but the right pane has the typical image that
shows when the site can not be found.

If I click a topic in the context pane it shows correctly in the right hand
pane.

Can you suggest a way to make the topic show initially?

Thanks

I get thousands of hit in Google but can't find the one I need.

Or maybe, I just don't recognize it when I see it.

I believe you need to change it to:

Help.ShowHelp(M e, Path.Combine(te mpFileFullPath, "Shortcuts.htm" ))

I know that won't work. I should have been clearer.
tempFileFullPat h is the full path to the temp file that should be the
equivalent of the .chm file that I embedded.
Shortcuts.htm was one of the topic files I used to make the original .chm
file.

tempFileFullPat h works OK if I use the 2 parameter overload but I want to
display something other than the default topic.

Googled first return, maybe you can look at:

I didn't see where he mentioned the 3 parameter overloaded ShowHelp.

Thanks
