+
+ // Create embedded HTML Help window
+ m_embeddedHelpWindow = new wxHtmlHelpWindow;

+ m_embeddedHtmlHelp.AddBook(wxFileName(_T("doc.zip")));
+\end{verbatim}
+
+You should pass the style wxHF\_EMBEDDED to the style parameter of wxHtmlHelpController to allow
+the embedded window to be destroyed independently of the help controller.
