How to implement a nice "HELP" menu system like wat u see in most commercial programs

i know how to use MENU EDITOR to create a "HELP" menu on my form but im not very sure how to make my Help Topics look like those u see in NERO's Help or Norton's SystemWork's Help where there are a list of topics where it can be expanded or collapse into more sub-topics & main-topics respectively.


Also, i want to make a "ABOUT" for my program to give a brief introduction on my program, who's the author for this program & version number etc. I created a TextBox & type the infomation in the TextBox & i make the Text1.Locked = True so tat when users run my program, they cant edit the TextBox, but how to make tat blinking cursor in the TextBox disappear?


Since i dont know how to get rid of tat blinking cursor in the TextBox when i run my program & i click on the TextBox in my "ABOUT" menu, i then try to use Label Control to replace TextBox for my "ABOUT", but i find tat i cant type many words inside & i do not know how to implement a vertical scrollbar, unlike TextBox which can implement a vertical scrollbar when the text inside gets too long.


In a nutshell, i need some advice on how to make a professional looking HELP menu system in my VB6 program tat looks like those u see in commercial software. thanxs.

to create a help system like u c normally, u need to create each topic page in html or word documents separately. then u need to compile the .chm file and thats what u c as the help file. there are packages available to compile ur help file. i use "Visual Chm" . then u can call that from ur vb menu or any control etc....
as mentioned by u, the about form u made is fine. u can use the label control and type mulit lines in it by draging and enlarging it or so... use set the cursor off the text box, set the enable property to false. hope this gives u an idea.
