All,

I am using a VB application, in this help file not showing the correct topic related to the screen when i press the F1 key.

I hv only a .hlp file with me, tell me how to look the index or context id with this file.. I am new to this topic(creating Help)
appreciated if anyone guide me how to create a help file in VB.
thanx

Creating help is a big job. There are tools around to help (RoboHelp, et al.), but they are 3rd party.

You can write simple text files, and use the help compiler that ships with VB to create a help file, but it is a [u]HUGE</u> job! You have to manually keep track of topic IDs, and so forth, to get it all to link up, and you have to manually "decorate" hyperlinks, bold/italic/etc. formatting.

The description of how to do this is way beyond the scope of a help forum... (I mean, they have entire college courses on this, an hour a day, 5 days a week, for a whole quarter...)
