Re: Add/insert a word doc as html doc to app (help file with no .chm)



On Apr 10, 10:32 pm, Rich <R...@discussio ns.microsoft.co mwrote:
I have been creating help files as richtext docs and adding them to a
richtextbox. I can use hyperlinks and so one, and I then have a simple
help
file. But since a word doc can be save as an html doc, I thought why
not
just make the help file an html help file (without the .chm - no
compilation
required). Is there a way to add an html word doc to the app?

One other thought I had was to use a webbrowser control in the app and
write
out html in the webbrowser web1.DocumentTe xt = <p>Help file for...</p>

The only thing with the web browser is that I would have to write out
all
the html tags - could be labor intensive. The word doc would be
easier. But
how to add the word doc to the app as an html page?

Thanks,
Rich
Rich,
Without being sure completely, if you want to use HTML as help
techique, design your HTML file on a editor like Frontpage then save
it. After that, place a webbrowser control to your form, then set
webbrowser's URL property to your local file's location (eg: c:
\myapplication\ help.html).

Also you called a term "html word doc" which cannot be understood. As
i pointed out, i'd suggest you to design a simple HTML help file then
embed it into webbrowser by setting URL property to what you desire.

Hope this helps.

I wonder why you copied-pasted 1:1 exact copy of one of my post after
1,5 months has passed on the issue. It's weird of you.

Help, I'm really out of my depth here (not unusual I hear you say :-). I have just installed HTML Help in an application. I told it in the Project Properties the path to the help file.

The problem is that when I sent it out to a site, the help file was not able to be accessed because it was my path in the...

Hi! We provide a chm-file with help topics for our application. A lot of other applications (Office 2003 for instance) have a feature in their UI that lets the user enter a text in the menu bar and search for that text in the chm-file. There are some ways to open the chm-file so that it shows the Search-tab. How can you give the search phrase to HTML Help too and let it execute the search automatically so that the user is presented the...

The software company I work for creates 4 chm files from c# code with ndoc and then combines them into a fifth chm file by merging through html help. This is all done through a dos build and there are no manual steps between each process. We need it to stay that way. Here is the problem: a few classes found in one of the chm files (we will call it a.chm) use an object that is found in another chm file(b.chm). Since ndoc created the chm...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
