Integrating .chm file in Java application....URGENT
Hi,
I have a .chm file which was created using RoBOHelp along with the header file containing the map id's for context sensitive help.
On the main menu i have help menu, when clicked i want the .chm to be displayed. Also, on each form(AWT/Swing), i have help button and I want the context sensitive help to be displayed.
Can you please tell me how i can do this?.
Thanks
Manjusha

What have you tried?
What program will display a .chm file? It is not part of java SE.

Re: Integrating .chm file in Java application....URGENT
I have tried the following, but this opens the complete .chm file.
String fileName = Path of the .chm file
String[] commands = {"cmd", "/c", fileName};
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commands);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
What i want is context sensitive help. The documentation team has provided me with .chm file and a .h file, which has the map id's. Is there any way in java to open context sensitive help?
Re: Integrating .chm file in Java application....URGENT
What OS command opens the file? Read that command's documentation to see if it has any options to change the way it works.
Then pass those options to it in the commands array.
