How to Access a CHM file

How to Access a CHM file from WinDev
 
We’ve had some discussion on the WinDev-Forum about Help Authoring Tools in general and specifically about Dr. Explain’s Help Authoring Tool. I offer two projects for download here, one of them is a Dr. Explain Help project named MyHelp.zip and the other is a WinDev12 project Help_AccessCHM.zip  showing how to access this CHM-Help file produced with Dr. Explain. In fact it’s rather simple using the Topic IDs. However, access using the alias names like “IDH_TOPIC_TOPIC1” with the WHelp-command failed. I believe that I either did not fully understand Dr. Explain in regards to ‘Aliases’ or the CHM-file simply doesn’t contain those Aliases. Using my standard Help Authoring Tool E.S.T. Help Author Pro (99,- Euros, but the company is going out of business at the end of the year) I can access the Help via Aliases from WinDev too.
