This version of the MSDN Library is built using the Microsoft HTML Help system. HTML Help files are displayed in a browser-like window, not in the full version of Internet Explorer with all its toolbars, favorites lists, and icons visible to the end user, but in a three-paned help window. The top pane contains the toolbar, the left pane contains the navigation methods, and the right pane displays the topic—with all the functionality of the browser intact. Anything you can display in Internet Explorer can also be displayed in HTML Help. The navigation pane contains the Contents, Index, Search, and Favorites tabs. By clicking topics in the table of contents, the Index, or the Favorites list you can explore any information within the Library. From the Search tab you can locate every occurrence of a word or phrase that may be contained in any topic.
In a topic, you can click underlined words to see other information related to the topic.
