Visual Basic >> HtmlHelp reload same file Hello to all, I have the following problem:

I call for the first time:
Call HtmlHelp(hWnd, "helpITA.chm", HH_HELP_CONTEXT, dwData)
and it appears a window with the Italian Help

then, I call for the second time
Call HtmlHelp(hWnd, "helpENG.chm", HH_HELP_CONTEXT, dwData)
and it appears a window with the same italian help and not english
help.

HtmlHelp seems to not load another file.

Can anyone help me?

thank you
Luca

Not sure, but I think there can only be one "primary" help window open per
application at a time. So, just close the first one and then try to open
the second.

Public Const HH_CLOSE_ALL As Long = &H12

Call HtmlHelp(hwnd, vbNullString, HH_CLOSE_ALL, ByVal 0&)

Thank you for your reply but do not work properly yet.....
This is the code.

Call HtmlHelp(hWnd, vbNullString, HH_CLOSE_ALL, ByVal 0&)
Call HtmlHelp(hWnd, App.HelpFile, wCommand, dwData)
