Hi,

I want to open the Help file (di.chm) by ShellExecute().
How can I influence to the window position and size?

This is my code:

   AnsiString Help = ExtractFilePath( ParamStr(0) ) + "\\" + "di.chm";

   int rc = (int) ShellExecute( Application->Handle,"open", Help.c_str(),
                                NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWDEFAULT ) ;
   if ( rc <= 32 )
   {
      // etc ...


In Win32API Help it says:

<quote>
   SW_SHOWDEFAULT Sets the show state based on the SW_ flag
   specified in the STARTUPINFO structure passed to the CreateProcess
   function by the program that started the application. An application
   should call ShowWindow with this flag to set the initial show state of 
its
   main window.
<quote>

But I do not know how to use that...
