Title: How to display the full text search tab of a help file
Question: You know how to display the table of contents of a help file, but how can you switch directly to the full text search tab?
Answer:
You can use the Winhelp macro "Find()". Here is an example:
procedure TForm1.ShowFulltextsearch;
var
command: array[0..255] of Char;
begin
command := 'FIND()';
{Ensure that the Application.HelpFile is displayed}
application.helpcommand(HELP_FORCEFILE, 0);
{Open the finder window and switch to the search tab}
application.helpcommand(HELP_COMMAND, Longint(@command));
end;
