HTML help

[rasim]

Hi!

I try to use HTML help for my script, but unsuccessful

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

Global Const $HH_DISPLAY_TOPIC      = 0x0
Global Const $HH_HELP_CONTEXT       = 0xF
Global Const $HH_CLOSE_ALL = 0x12

Global $DllRet

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test GUI", 200, 100, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_CAPTION, $WS_POPUP, $WS_SYSMENU), $WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP)

$HelpButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Help", 65, 40, 60, 25)

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case -3
            ExitLoop
        Case $HelpButton
            
            $DllRet = DllCall("HHCtrl.ocx", "hwnd", "HtmlHelp", "hwnd", $hGUI, "str", @ScriptDir & "\test.chm", _
            "int", $HH_DISPLAY_TOPIC, "long", "Default.htm")
            
            $DllRet = $DllRet[0]
            ConsoleWrite($DllRet & @LF)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

DllCall("HHctrl.ocx", "hwnd", "HtmlHelp", "hwnd", $DllRet, "str", @ScriptDir & "\test.chm", "int", $HH_CLOSE_ALL, "int", 0)

I believe the problem is in the dwData section of the DllCall.

MSDN says:

Specifies additional data depending on the value of uCommand. Note that in this declaration this argument is declared As Any, because this argument accepts several different data types. You must be careful to pass the correct data type or risk an invalid page fault (also known as general protection fault [GPF]).

As long as you are not wanting to jump to diffrent topics within the help file you could alternately use

ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\test.chm")

I not believe that this impossible in AutoIt.
