Opening Help File .chm using VB.NET
I want to open and help(.chm) file in my application. I have added a HelpProvider which when i pressed the F1 key my help file will be opened. But when i want to Click on the Menu Item to open up my help topics, i'm not sure how to do it.
I've tried this
Private Sub MenuItem2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnFrown.Click
Dim hwndHelp As Long
hwndHelp = HtmlHelp(Me.hwnd, "C:\Users\Jimmy\Help project\communicBox\Help.c
End Sub
but there's an error shown " 'hwnd' is not a member of 'WindowsApplication1.Form1
Is there any other possible solutions to solve this?

do i need to declare 'help' before i use this code?
help.showhelpindex(me,"hel
could you give me more codes, so that i can be more sure of what you mean. Like that i have to import and the declarations i need to make. Thanks a lot. ^^

help is already imported. so no need to do any other declarations. just replace "helpURL" with your help file path.

Wow! Thx a lot for helping! i've waited a week for an answer, and i thought it would be very difficult, cuz no one gave me a reponse or comment.. Thanks a lot again!
one more qn, the codes you gave me opens up the help index, if possible i want to open up the help contents instead of the index, what should i do?
