Some advice on application help please

[pachjo]

Hi,

could someone advise me on the best method to use on providing help on my application to the user?

Should I:

create a pdf help file
create a crystal report help report (not sure if this is possible)
create some kind of tree view type help
create a multiline textbox (would be a big text box)
create a windows help file (did this donkey's years ago for Access 2 app??)

Thanks

Ho!

I have found and now implemented the very useful helpprovider which should suffice

A little guidance from those in the know if possible please....

I set the helpstring on provider1 for an individual tabpage and another tabpage that has a crytalviewer control.

Neither the tabpage or crystalviewer respond by showing context sensitive help even though I have set the releavnt helpstring property?

Edit: Also I notice in order to disply the question mark for help on the forms titlebar you have to disable the min and max buttons. So how do you facilitate minimizing the form? Mmmm?

?? any ideas?
