10 @class wxHtmlHelpWindow
11
12 This class is used by wxHtmlHelpController
13 to display help within a frame or dialog, but you can use it yourself to create
14 an embedded HTML help window.
15
16 For example:
17
18 @code
19 // m_embeddedHelpWindow is a wxHtmlHelpWindow
20 // m_embeddedHtmlHelp is a wxHtmlHelpController
21
22 // Create embedded HTML Help window
23 m_embeddedHelpWindow = new wxHtmlHelpWindow;
24 m_embeddedHtmlHelp.UseConfig(config, rootPath); // Set your own config
25 object here
26 m_embeddedHtmlHelp.SetHelpWindow(m_embeddedHelpWindow);
27 m_embeddedHelpWindow-Create(this,
28 wxID_ANY, wxDefaultPosition, GetClientSize(),
29 wxTAB_TRAVERSAL|wxBORDER_NONE, wxHF_DEFAULT_STYLE);
30 m_embeddedHtmlHelp.AddBook(wxFileName(_T("doc.zip")));
31 @endcode
32
33 You should pass the style wxHF_EMBEDDED to the style parameter of
34 wxHtmlHelpController to allow
35 the embedded window to be destroyed independently of the help controller.
