Create custom Help Viewer in VB.NET


Hi, I'd like to create my own Help 2.0 viewer in VB.NET code.

Until now, I've discovered that there is the VsHelp COM component that can
be added as a new reference in a project for interfacing with Help 2.0.

If I use the following code (assuming there is a CommandButton placed onto a
form):

Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click

DispHelp("ms-help://MS.VSCC.2003/MS.MSDNQTR.2003APR.1033/vsintro7/html/vxori
WhatsNewInVisualStudio.htm")
End Sub

Private Sub DispHelp(ByVal Url As String)

Dim h As New VsHelp.DExploreAppObjClass
h.SetCollection("ms-help://ms.vscc.2003", "")
h.DisplayTopicFromURL(Url)
h.SyncContents(Url)
End Sub

I'm able to see the requested page in a new instance of DExplore.

But I'd like to create a browser window inside my project, that could show
TOC and help content...

Any idea or suggestion about it?

Thanks,

Progalex
