Hi,
If this is compiled HTML Help (.chm), and if the developer is
using the HTML Help API to call your help file, then this is the
expected behaviour. According to Microsoft's
HTML
Help API documentation:
"Any help window that you create through the HTML Help API is
owned by the calling, or parent, program. This allows the help
window to stay on top of its parent, yet not be on top of any other
program that has focus."
The developer should be able to override this behaviour by
passing "null" rather than the handle of the calling window as the
first parameter of the HTML Help API calls. Here is an example of a
modified call:
HtmlHelp(0, "c:\filename.chm", HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 1001)
However, this has the disadvantage that the help file is no
longer bound by the actions of the calling program. So if the user
closes or minimises the program, the help file isn't closed or
minimised as well.
