A documentation in HTLM

I would like to make a documentation in HTML and open it with my main vi.
Thank you

Try ActiveX of "Microsoft Web Browser". Create Method->Navigate. Wire URL. You are now able to open HTML in it.

Another post already pointed out how to embed the document in your
panel. If you wanted it opened in your browser, there is a VI in
help>_browser.llb>Open URL In Browser.vi. There is also one there for
PDFs, if you decide to use those.

If all you want to do is open a separate browser window, look at \help\_browser.llb\Open URL in Browser.vi.

Although others have recommended the "Open Browser" solution, I propose
another.

Look at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/htmlhelp/html/vsconHH1Start.asp

Normal windows programs use this compiled help file. It's a lot nicer than
opening help in a web browser because it uses the standard help window,
provides an index, and provides search capabilities. Labview has VIs for
opening the CHM files.

Check it out. I think the HTML Help Workshop is pretty easy to use and
provides a nice looking result.
