How to open the search tab of chm file using HtmlHelpW?

[GayatriPatil]

I could open 'Contents' and 'Index' tab of the chm file using HtmlHelpW. The 'Search' tab however cannot be opened using the same.Please guide how to open the Search tab.

Im not 100% sure if this relates, but there is a 'HelpNavigator. Find' command in c# that can be used to open a help file such as in

Help.ShowHelp(parent, url, navigator);
//Parent = owner of help screen (usually 'this')
//URL = Path and Name of help file
//Navigator = Which part of help viewer to open (ie. HelpNavigator.Find)

Thanks Samuel. But this is not what I want. The HelpNavigator opens the chm file in the same process. I need to open my chm file as a seperate process ,so that even if my application is closed,the chm file remains open. This is achieved by using the API but I am unable to open the 'Find' tab.

Very well then...

If you are using commands similar to HH_DISPLAY_TOC and HH_DISPLAY_INDE X, the search tab is linked to HH_DISPLAY_SEAR CH.

Also you can read this page:

Which gives more information than i can. (Look near the bottom.)
