<Name of help file>: Character string Name and path of help file (.HLP or .CHM). If the help file is not found, the function has no effect. <Context number>: Integer Context number associated with the help page and with the control for which the page must be displayed. The help number associated with a control is returned by NumHelp. Remarks Changing language and help file In the WINDEV help editor, the name of the help file can be built from a numeric identifier corresponding to Nation. In this case, to start the help file corresponding to the current language, all you have to do is use the following code:
// Start the help in CHM format
WHelp("MyFile" + NumToString(Nation(), "03d") + ".chm")
