IHxHelpPane Interface

  • Article

The IHxHelpPane interface is a dual interface that serves as a proxy for interaction with the Help Pane. You use IHxHelpPane to display tasks and content hierarchies, and to perform queries on content.

Important

IHxHelpPane can only be used to display the Windows Help content set. Displaying content that is not part of the Windows Help content set is not supported.

For Windows 10 and subsequent versions of the Windows operating system, these methods open browser-based online resources instead of the Windows Help content set.
