Hi,
I am working on context sensitive help with Win32.hlp. And passing parameters as,
winhlp32 -k search_word e:\helps\win32.hlp
it is working and invoking help file but search_word is not in help index then winhlp32.exe is staying resident in memory after closing help file. Anyone know the solution.
You may test this via this batch,
----------------- snip ----------------------
winhlp32 -k LRESULT x:\help_directory\win32.hlp
----------------- snip ----------------------
LRESULT is a word to search as an example only. But RadAsm or other editors has not such a problem(hallelujah :))
In fact in my quick tests,
is not. Well :) you may say that then do the right one. Its ok but i am invoking different files with ShellExecute api but only changing parameters for each. So i use the same thing for others. I want to find a solution before doing an exception for only help file invoking. This would be better. And will learn(if possible) one more thing if anybody will help me :)
Thanks

In fact in my quick tests,
;keyw db "-k LRESULT E:\WinApiHLP\WIN32.HLP",0 ; ShellExecute
;helps db "winhlp32.exe",0 ; ShellExecute
;dir db "c:\tests\aaa",0 ; ShellExecute
;opening db "open",0 ; ShellExecute
keyw db "LRESULT",0 ; WinHelp
helps db "E:\WinApiHLP\win32.hlp",0 ; WinHelp
CALL WinHelp,hwnd_,offset helps,HELP_KEY, offset keyw
is working well but,
CALL ShellExecute, hwnd_, offset opening, offset helps, offset keyw, offset dir, SW_SHOW
is not. Well :) you may say that then do the right one. Its ok but i am invoking different files with ShellExecute api but only changing parameters for each. So i use the same thing for others.

Don't you just send HELP_QUIT to unload the WinHelp application ?
invoke WinHelp,0,pFilename,HELP_QUIT,NULL
Good point! No wasn't.
Thank you donkey
