 152 \section{\class{wxHtmlHelpWindow}}\label{wxhtmlhelpwindow}
 153
 154 This class is used by \helpref{wxHtmlHelpController}{wxhtmlhelpcontroller}
 155 to display help within a frame or dialog, but you can use it yourself to create an embedded HTML help window.
 156
 157 For example:
 158
 159 \begin{verbatim}
 160     // m_embeddedHelpWindow is a wxHtmlHelpWindow
 161     // m_embeddedHtmlHelp is a wxHtmlHelpController
 162
 163     // Create embedded HTML Help window
 164     m_embeddedHelpWindow = new wxHtmlHelpWindow;
 165     m_embeddedHtmlHelp.UseConfig(config, rootPath); // Set your own config object here
 166     m_embeddedHtmlHelp.SetHelpWindow(m_embeddedHelpWindow);
 167     m_embeddedHelpWindow->Create(this,
 168         wxID_ANY, wxDefaultPosition, GetClientSize(), wxTAB_TRAVERSAL|wxNO_BORDER, wxHF_DEFAULT_STYLE);
 169     m_embeddedHtmlHelp.AddBook(wxFileName(_T("doc.zip")));
 170 \end{verbatim}
 171
 172 You should pass the style wxHF\_EMBEDDED to the style parameter of wxHtmlHelpController to allow
 173 the embedded window to be destroyed independently of the help controller.
