We have applications developed in C# and C++. When the help
file (.CHM) opens for any application, the help file takes control.
It stays on top and we cannot get control back to the application.
The user cannot switch back and forth between the help file and the
application. Is there some setting in the project that controls
this behavior?
HI MJRL. Try ensuring that the "Top Most Window" option has
not been selected. To get to this option select your Window's
properties, click on the Advanced Properties button and then the
Extended Styles tab.
No. If I open the application and then start the help from
Windows Explorer, you can switch between the Help and the
Application. When you open the Help from the Help menu within the
application, you can only view the Help. You cannot switch to the
Application.
I think this may be down to the call from the application.
Can you ask your developers to look at this and see if the call
they are making is making the help file stay on top. You don't say
whether this behaviour has just started happening or whether this
is the first time you've tested the help with the app.
