Home button linking to another help file

Unread post by cindynotbrady »

I'm trying to get the home button to link to our Master Help, which is its own chm help file within the Help folder included with the executable of our software product.

Here is the message I keep getting after I build it and click the Home button:

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Cindy,

That won't work because the buttons in the viewer toolbar can only execute HTML links and as far as I know you can't open a CHM file on a local computer with an HTML link there. You don't have access to the HTML Help ActiveX object. I'm going to check on this, but at present I know of no way to open another CHM from these buttons.
