Visual Basic, Position the Help File From 32bit VB4

Position the Help File From 32bit VB4

Author	Message
Claude G. Ouim #1 / 4	Position the Help File From 32bit VB4 I've searched all avenues for help on positioning a Help File from within a 32bit VB4 application more appropriately than the default settings I've set while compiling the Help File. I've read about the HELPWININFO structure and the HELP_SETWINPOS constant for the WinHelp API call but I can't make it work. Can anyone help? Dim HelpPos As HELPWININFO HelpPos.wStructSize = Len(HelpPos) HelpPos.X = 0 HelpPos.Y = 0 HelpPos.DX = 100 HelpPos.DY = 100 HelpPos.wMax = 1 HelpPos.rgchMember = "" X = WinHelp(MyForm.hWnd, MyHelpFile, HELP_SETWINPOS, ByVal HelpPos) Thanks, Claude

I've read about the You can specify the position when you build the help file (see the help compiler docs) or better yet - let the file display in its default location. Winhelp will remember where it was. If the user repositions the window, winhelp displays it there the next time the file is opened IF the help author didn't decide to display the window in a fixed location.

What I was trying to do is to provide for context sensitive positioning - placing the Help File, if possible, where it would not interfere with the program itself ... Claude
