expression A variable that represents an Application object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Description

Remarks

Using the InvokeHelp method, you can create a custom Help system that is integrated with the Visio Help system. To enable your custom Help to appear in the same MSO Help window as Visio Help, don't specify a window definition in the bstrHelpFileName argument.

The arguments passed to the InvokeHelp method correspond to those described in the HTML Help API. For a list of command values, see the HTML Help API Reference. Microsoft Visual Basic programmers can use the numeric equivalent of the C++ constants defined in the HTML Help API header files.

For example, use the following code to display the Visio Help pane.

Application.InvokeHelp "Visio.chm", 15, 0
