Where to get the HelpID number?

[ken]

I try to add help file to my project, one question is when I enter the path
for the help file in the property textbox, where to get the number for HelpID
that associate the help file? Thanks!

There are at least 2 issues with displaying help:
1. It's not HelpID but HelpContextID property of the appropriate object.
2. You must know Topic ID from your help project. To view help file in
design mode you must have a utility such as WinHelp, RoboHnelp or tool like
HelpScribble which I personally found the absolutely simplest and most
inexpensive way to build a help file in standard Windows format or HTML
format. Go to this site and try it for yourself: www.jgsoft.com.
