Hi there,

ThisCode: [Select]begin
  Application.HelpFile := 'f:\lazarus projecten\test.hlp';
  if not Application.HelpCommand(HELP_CONTENTS,0) then
ShowMessage('Error !');
end;
will allways give me the "Error !' message.
The file exists.

Running the same code in Delphi displays the helpfile as expected.

Did I do something wrong here?

It's getting very hard to get almost any common thing I do in Delphi
to work in Lazarus. Just basic stuff like executing files, opening
helpfiles, getting the application icon to work and show up in a
TImage etc. etc.

Still not giving up though, just a steep learning curve I hope...

I think this might haven´t being implemented yet, specifically since
platform specific things have low priority.

You could try to use the Windows API directly for this.

Since the functionprototype exist, if it isn't implemented yet, at
least I would have expected  to see some "Not implemented yet"
message...

I'll look into that.
