How to display Help Files from APL

ShowChmHelp is part of the CategoryAplApl project.

Overview

This class serves two simple purposes:

• Display a help file, satrting with the default topic.
• Display a particular (named) topic in a particular help file

You must create an instance before you can use the methods the class is coming with, and you must make sure that the Destructor is called at some point because otherwise APL might crash. This is neither a fault of the class nor of APL, it's simply how the underlying DLL is defined.

To get details about how to use ShowChmHelp, execute:
