Start by reading the following article:
Starting Out with HtmlHelp (http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/w-p/help/html/article.php/c6503)
The example at the end is for visual basic, but it pretty straightforward to convert to C++.

Hello Everyone,

I read the article and created a Help.chm file successfully.

Now i am calling the chm file in WM_HELP method.


BOOL CALLBACK MainProc(HWND hwnd, UINT Message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{

switch(Message)
{
case WM_INITDIALOG:
{

}
break;


case WM_HELP:
{

HWND hwnd = HtmlHelp(
GetDesktopWindow(),"c:\\Help.chm", NULL, NULL) ;

}
break;


....

I am getting this errors

error C2065: 'HtmlHelp' : undeclared identifier
error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'int' to 'struct HWND__ *'

can anyone please tell me what should i do here ....do i need to include any header file ?

Thanking you ..
Suresh
