You should use HtmlHelp API Function for this.

May be this Tutorial[^] will help. You can google for more tutorials on HTML Help and related functions.

I hope it helps.

If you have not created the CHM file, I am not sure if you will be able to achieve this.

I have myself never created the CHM files so i wont be able to help much in this case.

Can you do something like:

.../MyHelpFile.chm::/SomeTopic.htm

Then how do you know that separate topics even exist?

What I showed was only an example. It's up to you to make it fit your needs.

Hi ,
I am having a trouble in displaying Folder Dialog.My requirement is to open the folder dialog to a default path like C:\SomeDirectoryName\SomeDirectotryName .

I have written the code like this.

<br />
CFolderDialog obj(NULL,tstrTitle.c_str(),BIF_EDITBOX|BIF_STATUSTEXT);<br />
obj.SetSelection ( strExportPath.c_str() );<br />

but this is opening a FolderDialog Box to "My Computer" path and not to a give directory's path. I am using WTL Version 7.1 which does not have
SetInitialFolder ( ); function . This function is there in WTL Version 7.5 for which its works fine. Is there any other way to show the folder dialog to the give directory's Path.

Thanks in Advance.

I have already tried the same before posting my query. But the path on which my folder dialog is opened does not allow me to choose higher or lower Sub Directories.

You can either use ObjectARx or VBA for getting the entities property.

I want to open a document from the MFC dll.
I am using the below function.

AfxGetApp()->OpenDocumentFile(szlstfile.GetBuffer(0));

;
It is giving the assert message
But its neither opening the File main application .
szlstfile is the CString object holding the path of filename.
Anybody has idea how to open a Document from any MFC dll .

This assert just says that the thread, where you called the function OpenDoc..., has no main wnd.
Is this a multi threaded app or is this your main thread?
