I have tried (for hours now) searching on Google for the answer to my problem without any joy - My biggest problem, I think, is not knowing what keywords to search for.
I have also searched thru Code Project without any luck (though I am sure the answer resides there somewhere)
I have a few programs that each have a Help option on the Menu Bar. When this is clicked a new 'Help' window is opened (that obviously shows the help content)
This works well, except that the user has to read the help content, close the Help window and then apply what he/she has read.
What I would like to achieve is :
User clicks Help on parent window
Program opens another window (Help window)
User is able to click on parent window (ie get focus) and Help window 'goes behind' parent window
User can then click on Help window again to get focus
and so flip flop between the two until finished with Help window and clicks on Close button
If user does not close help window and closes parent window then both should be closed.
Is this possible? And how?
Currently I am using VB2010 (.Net Windows applications) and open with Help window with
frm_Help.ShowDialog()
and then close the Help window when a button is clicked with
Me.Close()
Any assistance or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
