Searching for sub-keywords with HtmlHelp

Unread post by Rich Dobbs »

One aspect of my application provides context sensitive help by searching for keywords using the HtmlHelp HH_KEYWORD_LOOKUP method. However, I don't know how to lookup sub-keywords, so I have to place these items on the first level of my index, while logically these items should be sub-keywords. This interfers with a user browing through the index for other purposes because the user has to filter out all of these entries that were added for programattic lookup.

Does anyone know how to use the HtmlHelp API to search for sub-keywords? For example, I'd like to bring up the page with an index entry of:

Code: Select all

Attenuation Equation Details
	Atkinson-Sonley (2000) - PR
given the string "Atkinson-Sonley (2000) - PR".

Thanks for any help or suggestions.
