Hallo willie1

» ich will eine CHM-Hilfe aus einem eigenen Programm heraus mit einem
» Schlüselwort der Index-Seite direkt die richtige Hilfeseite anzeigen
» lassen.
» Der Anwender soll ein Suchwort eingeben und die Hilfe soll die
» entsprechende Seite anzeigen ohne dass der User erst die Hilfe-Datei
» aufrufen und zur Index-Sete wechseln muss. Das müsste sich doch machen
» lassen >
» Ging mit der alten HLP-Hilfe ohne Probleme!

da stellt sich die Frage:
Mit welcher Programmiersprache und mit welcher Version der IDE>

Ich habe an der Thematik schon mal irgendwann "gebastelt" bin aber mit dem CHM internen Index nicht zu einem zufriedenstellenden Ergebnis gekommen.

Ist nicht ganz ohne
Für VB6 siehe und probiere die VB6_CHM.exe:

' ------------
' cbStruct Specifies the size of the structure. This value must always be filled in before passing the structure to the HTML Help API.
' fReserved This parameter must be set to FALSE.
' pszKeywords Specifies one or more ALink names or KLink keywords to look up. Multiple entries are delimited by a semicolon.
' pszUrl Specifies the topic file to navigate to if the lookup fails. pszURL refers to a valid topic within the specified compiled help (.chm) file and does not support Internet protocols that point to an HTML file.
' pszMsgText Specifies the text to display in a message box if the lookup fails and fIndexOnFail is FALSE and pszURL is NULL.
' pszMsgTitle Specifies the caption of the message box in which the pszMsgText parameter appears.
' pszWindow Specifies the name of the window type in which to display one of the following:
' - The selected topic, if the lookup yields one or more matching topics.
' - The topic specified in pszURL, if the lookup fails and a topic is specified in pszURL.
' The Index tab, if the lookup fails and fIndexOnFail is specified as TRUE.

' fIndexOnFail Specifies whether to display the keyword in the Index tab of the HTML Help Viewer if the lookup fails. The value of pszWindow specifies the Help Viewer.

' pszMsgText and pszMsgTitle.
' If fIndexOnFail is FALSE and pszURL is NULL, a message box appears using the text and caption specified in pszMsgText and pszMsgTitle.

' ALink name and KLink keyword lookups are case sensitive, and multiple keywords are delimited by a semicolon.
' If the lookup yields one or more matching topics, the topic titles appear in the Topics Found dialog box.
