Open Sub-Topic Using Control Online Help

Solved!
Go to solution

I have html help files created with RoboHelp.  Everything works fine except when I want to select a topic (Tutorials.htm in my case) to programatically display that is not the Top-level Online Help page (Main_Help.htm).  The "Control Online Help" function seems to be the answer but the sub-topic is never displayed, only the top level.  Any advice is appreciated.

The LabVIEW help document for the Control Online Help function indicates that the "Path to the help file" input can have a .chm or .hlp extension. Can you try creating a .chm instead? I built a similar block diagram, but used a .chm, and it performed as expected.

Doug, I think you're right.  After lots of digging, I ended up with a chm file.  It just doesn't look as nice as the html.  But it works
