Windows 32-bit HTML Help API Interface Unit

Targets: Win32 only


This module exports the HTML Help structures and functions from the hhctrl.ocx, distributed with MS HTML HELP Workshop.

The HTML Help application programming interface (API) enables a Windows program to create a help window that displays a help topic. The Windows program has complete control over the type, style, and position of the help window.

The fundamental feature of the HTML Help API is the help window. Through the API commands, you can create a help window that hosts a Microsoft Internet Explorer DLL (Shdocvw.dll) and displays an HTML file that you specify. The help window is owned by the window you specify. As an owned window, a help window automatically stays on top of its owner and closes when the owner is closed.

You define the styles, coordinates, captions, and display state of the help window. This level of control allows you to embed the help window in a non-OLE activated Windows program.

In addition to creating help windows, the HTML Help API commands also enable you to provide: For more info look the HTMLHELP.CHM.
