Codes for Opening PDF files

[K. Krishnamoorthy]

Hello: I have developed a dialog based application (like PC
Calculator), and the helps are written in PDF files.. I would like to
add codes in

void bindble::OnHelpButton()
{
}

so that a user can open PDF help files by clicking on <Help> button...
Any help on this will be highly appreciated...

Sincerely,

K. Krishnamoorthy

Under MS Windows...

system ("start myDoc.pdf");

But rest assured your customers would prefer integrated context sensitive
help, and not a PDF file that they will realize they could have opened
themselves.

But the solutions for all these problems work in most languages, so use
