WinAPI function to start help file

Question

when you open help in e.g. Windows Notepad (Help->Help Topics) no child process is started (such as hh.exe), which IMO means there is a WinAPI function called to do the job.

I searched MSDN for a while but came up with nothing.

what is this function?

... or if you are starting a Windows help file use the WinHelp function. – jac Oct 15 '09 at 21:12

Would this help? How can I open a help file (chm or so) from my GUI developed in VC++ 2008?

There are several useful solutions in that discussion.
