Description
Using the Help functions such as ShowHelp or ShowPopupHelp to display a HLP file or a CHM (HTML Help) file is unsupported.
Workaround
To enable you to display a HLP file or a CHM file, replace the Help functions by applying a StaticHyperLink, PictureHyperLink or HyperLinkToURL:
Step 1: Upload the Help file to your Web Server.
Step 2: Create a StaticHyperLink or PictureHyperLink control in the application and set the link of the control to the URL of the Help file. You can also apply the HyperLinkToURL function in the application for accessing the URL of the Help file.
Example
This example uses Appeon Help as the HLP file. First upload the HLP file to the Web Server (in this example Appeon Help is located in http://www.appeon.com/support).
Workaround #1: Open the HLP or CHM file with a StaticHyperLink control.
Create a StaticHyperLink control in the application. Add the Appeon Help URL (http://www.appeon.com/support) to the URL property of StaticHyperLink control.
Workaround #2: Apply the HyperLinkToURL function to access the URL of the Help file.
Add the following code to the relevant location in the application:
Inet internet
Internet = create Inet
internet.HyperLinktoURL("http://www.appeon.com/support/manuals")
