Hi all,

What parameters do I need to pass to the API to open a help topic from a VB6
app where it is displayed without toolbar and navigation pane (basically
just the topic window).

Thanks,
Ivan

To my knowledge, there are none.  You need to define such a window in the
..chm file and then specify that you want to use that window. If you're using
HTML Help Workshop, define the window by clicking the "Add/Modify window
definitions" button.  Enter a name for the new window type and set styles,
buttons, and other options. When you're done, click the OK button. This
should add the window to the [WINDOWS] section and if it's the first/only
window type you've defined, automatically make it the default window.

For more information, consult HTML Help's help.

Couldn't have been easier. Just add ">" and the secondary window name to the
second parameter!!

True, but you must still have defined that window type in the .chm file. I
thought that's what you were not clear on.

I assumed I need to create some secondary window but didn't know how to call
it :)
