Question about "systemqq"

[royxu]

I used VF to design a software. In the help menu of my software, users can open standalone help file. In my program, I used "systemqq" to active the help file. But the problem is everytime when people click the help menu, a window "C:Windowssystem32cmd.exe" is open and the help window is also open. I only need help window. How do I get rid of the MS prompt window.

Thanks!

Use ShellExecute, a Win32 API routine, instead. It won't open a command prompt window.

You could also use

use user32

logical retlog

Character*100 helpfilename

helpfilename='c:fullpathhelpfile.hlp'c

retlog=WinHelp(hWnd, helpfilename, HELP_FINDER, 0)

'hWnd' is the handle to your application's window.

This will use WinHelp32.exe to open the help file.

Be sure to supply the full path for the help file.

You could just continue using SYSTEMQQ with the 'start' command....
