I would like to write some VB6 code that will test the existence of a topic
ID in a help file. My commercial software application contains a series of
topic IDs which should match the IDs in a help file. I'm relying on a
contractor to write the help file and sometimes we do not match IDs. So I
want to write code that will:
1. Query the help file to see if the topic ID exists and
2. Return a result of 'true' or 'false'
I'm thinking that the WinHelp API should have a command that issues the
query and reports the result - but I can't find out what the WinHelp command
is. Do you know?
Cheers,
Larry Rebich

Chris:
Unfortunately there is no command in the suggested class that verifies the
existence of a help topic ID. Any other suggestions?
Cheers,
