Owning Palette: Dialog & User Interface VIs and Functions

Use the Help VI and functions to link from VIs to HTML files or compiled help files.

Palette Object	Description
Control Help Window	Modifies the Context Help window by showing, hiding, or by repositioning the window.
Control Online Help	Controls a compiled help file by displaying the table of contents, jumping to a specific topic in the file, or closing the help file.
Get Help Window Status	Returns the status and the position of the Context Help window.
Open URL in Default Browser	Displays a URL or HTML file in the default Web browser. If the URL or path you wire to this VI contains a space character, the VI encodes the space as %20 before displaying the URL or HTML file in the Web browser. The data type you wire to the URL input determines the polymorphic instance to use.
