Hi,

First of all sory for my bad english.

I have a compiled help file(.chm) and i use it in my application but every time i push the help button it shows the first page of the .chm file.I want to display a specific page of the .chm file when i press the help button of another form.I tried this :

Help.ShowHelp(Me, Application.StartupPath & "\HelpFile.chm", HelpNavigator.Topic, "SpecificTopic.htm")

ofcourse i changed the "SpecificTopic.htm" with my topic but it shows "The Page could not be displayed".How can I do this?

I've never used .chm's before in a program, but a quick search in MSDN gave this:

 

To show the "To paint with a brush" Help topic by the keyword, type "mspaint.chm::/paint_brush.htm" (without the quotation marks) in the Keyword text box and click the Show Keyword button.

 

It looks like you were just typing in the "paint_brush.htm" and missing the "mspain.chm::/" part.

 

I hope that helps your problem :)
