Help for a vb.net application

[toufik]

Hi,
I like to add to my application a help that has the same behaviour than the
microsoft software (index, search,...)
Is it possible? any hint please.

Thanks.

Yes it it possible. VStudio comes with a program for creating chm files
(HTML Help Workshop) which are the help files you mentioned.
There a number of commercialy available applications that can do the same
thing. Far or Robohelp to name a few.
If you do a search for newsgroups you will find
microsoft.public.vstudio.helpauthoring
microsoft.public.helpauthoring
for example...these might be helpful

After creating your chm files then do a search for

Public Enum HelpNavigator

in the VStudio help to get you started implementing your help files....
Good Luck

For a good tutorial on how to use HTML Help Workshop, see:

And see also:

For information on how to connect the help file to your application,
see the links under the "Microsoft VS .NET" at:
