How to link .CHM to windows application

[aagarwal8]

Hi,

I have a windows applicationm which can open seversal forms from a
main form. All the forms that are opened, from main form (as well the
main form) have a link to the help (.chm) file.

I am using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(<help_file_path>) to
display the help file. But the problem is, there are as many help
files opened, as many time i clicked on the link.

Is there any way i can ensure that only 1 instance of the Help file is
opened.

Regards,
Ankit!

Thanks Pete...it solved my problem.

However, thrs another problem with this arrangement now. The control/
form which i pass in the ShowHelp method, seems to have become the
ownwer of the help file. i am not able to bring that form/control
infront of the help file. Any ideas how it can be done?

Regards,
Ankit!

Pete, my help window is not opening modally. I am able to work on the
main form, but when i try to drag the main form over the help
window..it wont do it. it will simply get under the help file window.
Not sure whats the reason.
