Hello,<br />
I am a new Java programmer wanting to create a Java email application for use ONLY on the Windows platform. &nbsp;I want to create as part of it a Windows help function using the &nbsp;WinHelp compiler to create .hlp files.<br />
<br />
Question:-<br />
What is the syntax for running a context-sensitive Windows help file from within Java?<br />
<br />
I would use the following (apparently) in C:-<br />
WinHelp(hwnd, &quot;c:\myapp\myhelp.hlp&quot;, HELP_COMMAND, (DWORD)(LPSTR)&quot;JI(`',`TOPI<wbr />C_2')&quot;)<br />
<br />
which loads the indicated Help file and executes the JI() macro to jump to the topic TOPIC_2 within that Help file.<br />
<br />
I would much appreciate the Java version of the above.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Using Windows' WinHelp in Java

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
