if the help file is compiled as HTML then use the Win32 API HtmlHelp .
else you can write like this.
CString strDefaultDir;
strDefaultDir=AfxGetApp()->m_pszHelpFilePath ;
strDefaultDir.Replace(_T("TestApp.CHM"), _T(""));
SetCurrentDirectory(strDefaultDir);
ShellExecute(NULL,"open", "TestAppHelp.txt", NULL, NULL, SW_MAXIMIZE );
where TestApp is the application name and TestAppHelp is the help file name.
Hope this helps.
Appu..

I have a problem like your.
I solved it with this corrections:
Add the macros
ON_COMMAND(ID_HELP_FINDER, CMDIFrameWnd::OnHelpFinder)<br />
ON_COMMAND(ID_DEFAULT_HELP, CMDIFrameWnd::OnHelpFinder)<br />
ON_COMMAND(ID_HELP, CMDIFrameWnd::OnHelp)<br />
ON_COMMAND(ID_CONTEXT_HELP, CMDIFrameWnd::OnContextHelp)
to the Mainframe map
And add to the constructor of the application
EnableHtmlHelp();
Then put the help file in the exe folder.
Note. my help is an html help.

should i add these code as it is or any changes should be made. what do u mean by "mainframe map"
|
|
|
|

Sorry for the late:
As I sad: I solved the problem with this lines, now pressing F1 the help will be displayed.
mainframe is described in MainFrm.cpp
and there you can find the message map:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMainFrame, CMDIFrameWnd)
ON_WM_CREATE()
ON_COMMAND(ID_WINDOW_NEW, OnWindowNew)
... //Add here
The app constructor is (usually empty) in another file: MyAppName.cpp
But note: this works with html help, but I think that the macros are the same in both cases

I want hand cursor on static box. I have used the following code, but its not working please tell me if there is a way out.
CString windir;
GetWindowsDirectory(windir.GetBuffer(MAX_PATH), MAX_PATH);
windir.ReleaseBuffer();
windir += _T("\\winhlp32.exe");
HMODULE hModule = LoadLibrary(windir);
if (hModule)
{
g_hCursorLink =CopyCursor(::LoadCursor(hModule, MAKEINTRESOURCE(106)));
}
FreeLibrary(hModule);
if (g_hCursorLink)
{
m_MyStatic.SetCursor(g_hCursorLink);
}
|

The code is a little bit terrifying 
Because if you just want to load the hand cursor, you will get it by
LoadCursor( 0, MAKEINTRESOURCE(32649))
Another thing is SetCursor will not change the cursor permanently.
Try this
BOOL MainWindow::OnSetCursor(CWnd* pWnd, UINT nHitTest, UINT message)
{
if( pWnd == &m_MyStatic )
{
SetCursor( LoadCursor( 0, MAKEINTRESOURCE(32649) ) );
return TRUE;
}
return CWnd::OnSetCursor(pWnd, nHitTest, message);
}
CWnd should be replaced by your class name.

It needs (WINVER >= 0x0500). So I just used its value!

So which one is easy! Using it's value (Of course with MAKEINTRESOURCE  ) or defining WINVER once and using IDC_HAND.;)

Anyone know how to rebuild the intellisense in VS 2005? VS is not picking up changes I have made to structures that are contained in header files that are not part of the solution.

- exit Visual studio.
- Delete the .ncb file
- Open VS and compile
Now the intellisense database is updated. (I hope )

The header file is not part of the solution so that makes no difference. VS seems to have a cache somewhere that I need to delete. The structure in question was changed about a year ago but this is the first time I've had to debug using this particular structure and the watch window is showing the old format structure.

I think that this isn't the real problem: I think that the VS cache is only in the solution main folder -> so you have to edit something there.
Try also to delete the DEBUG(or RELEASE) sub folder(s).
This will reset the solution and will reset everything that was generated with VS.

I have tried deleting every temporary file, solution file and project file but nothing has changed. To make matters more complicated the structure is a member of another structure and this is where I get the problem. If I declare an instance of the problem structure the watch window shows the correct layout. So now I have two entries in the watch window which both show as the same type but with different layouts. Even adding a cast to the front of the variables being watched makes no difference.

Last year I was exactly your problem, but with the suggestions that I gave to you now it is solved,.....so probally I can't help you more.
Was the application closed when you was deleting the files and folders?
It is important!
|
|
|
|
|
Yes the application was closed when I deleted all temporary, solution and project files. If the application wasn't closed I wouldn't have been able to delete the NCB file.
Thankyou very much for trying to help, I still have the layout problem but I have solved the program bug and so have to move onto the next problem. I'll try again another time.
