Hi,
I want to use my .chm file as help for my Windows application software and want to display it within a Form.Can we embed ur CHM File in a container control in visual studio 2008 window project.If yes, which control and how?I was using Process.Start ("file Path"); the chm file is opening in a seperate window. For me i have created help form inside the help form chm file should fetch.

I was using Process.Start("FilePath"); the chm file is opening in a seperate file for me it should open in the form which i have designed as help.

Naresh1277 4-Oct-13 7:33am

Hey Man, Opening your .Chm in the form you have desinged is practically not possible.. since help file contains a tree structure and it is completely different, how can you open it in your form,

Naresh1277 4-Oct-13 7:37am

Can you give explain more clearly,i.e how abouit opening .chm in your own desinged form? is it win form usinf wpf?
