Call Help file with certain topic opened

[MrCreatoR]

Hi all,

I make an *.chm help file, that support Help context number, with is needed for me (as i understood), to make the help file i am using Help & Manual program.

My question is, how can i call from AutoIt script the maded help file, with certain topic (fold) opened?

Just like SciTE editor open help file in particular place (with finded topic) when you select some function name and press F1 button.

Is it possible to do this?

This is how CodeWizard does it.

Edit:

Ahh, this is how I did it in my CMenu application.

Func _Helpfile($path_chm = 'CMenu Help.chm', $path_html = 'Introduction.html')
    If $path_chm = Default Then $path_chm = 'CMenu Help.chm'
    Local $workingdir
    Switch WinGetTitle('')
        Case 'Ini2Au3'
            $path_html = 'Ini2Au3.html'
        Case 'Reg2Au3'
            $path_html = 'Reg2Au3.html'
        Case 'RegKey2Au3'
            $path_html = 'RegKey2Au3.html'
        Case 'Inno Setup', 'Wise', 'Nullsoft', 'InstallShield AFW', 'InstallShield 2003', _
                'RAR SFX', 'ZIP SFX', 'WinZip', 'Windows Installer', 'Ghost', _
                'InstallShield UnPacked', 'Tarma', 'VISE'
            $path_html = 'Identify Installer.html'
    EndSwitch
    If @WorkingDir <> @ScriptDir Then
        $workingdir = @WorkingDir
        FileChangeDir(@ScriptDir)
    EndIf
    If FileExists($path_chm) Then
        Run('hh.exe ms-its:' & $path_chm & '::/' & $path_html)
    Else
        _Error('Files missing for launching the Help Guide')
    EndIf
    If $workingdir Then FileChangeDir($workingdir)
EndFunc

Alittle different in the calling to hh.exe.

Look at my AutoitHelp V2 project

I'm using little simpler way than MHz (without ms-its:) and also with anchors in HTML:

Run('HH.exe Autoit.chm::/Files/Script_Commands.htm#' & $FuncName, @ScriptDir, @SW_MAXIMIZE)
