Hello

I'm trying to implement a standard windows Help window; the ones you see so often in windows application. The ones that have a treeview in the left handside and on the right side theres space to display the help contents.

My question is what control should i use on the right side to show the help contents? And what should my help contents be written in?

should i do:

  • a richtextbox and just type my contents in?
  • a web browser control, help files in html format and use the web browser control to load them in?
  • help files in word doc files and load them in..
  • help files in rft files and load into a richtextbox control?
  • any other controls i can use and what ideal help file format should i use to implement my form?
any ideas?

thanks
