Help Me! MS HTMLHELP   

at Office 2007, the Help Popup Box is Very beautifully.

but, MS HtmlHelp,
Use the API: HtmlHelp(Handle, nil, HH_DISPLAY_TEXT_POPUP, DWORD(@hhpopup));

The Popup Box very bad.

i want to paint popup box on myself,

so, i think,
i want to draw a beautifully popup box to get the Topic string(text)
from the CHM file.
eg:
..topic IDH_CHM_POPUP
"This is a CHM-based popup." --> like this.

How to implement  this function?

thanks

Hey good question.
Why don't you just decompile the help file and see what the script is they 
use?

If you switch to Offline help mode you will load local (offline) help.
This is MS help 2 (same as VS 2005). Online help is AP help.
Use a decompilation tools to decompile appropriate Collection.

I use our FAR product (Shareware - 60 days free trial) to decompile
http://helpware.net/FAR/

The Collection namespace for Word 2007 is MS.WINWORD.12.1033
http://helpware.net/mshelp2/CollectionWizard/Office12Help.htm

So take a look at the source.
