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