This same info was posted on my earlier thread about MSDN links...BUT, I marked it as Resolved, and didn't know how to unmark it. So, hopefully, I won't get in trouble with this 'double posting'.....:(
I was able to link MOST common controls to the page in the MSDN help files. I got all but two (ImageControl and TabStrip) in Common Controls 5.0 and 6.0. And, I could not get ANY Common Controls in 2.5, 2.6 or 3.6.
For 5 and 6, I used CMCTL198.CHM
For 2.5 and 2.6 I used CMCTL298.CHM
and for 3.6 I used CMCTL398.CHM
Here is the code (note---I used label captions to shorten my test code, but left the test code in (commented out) to show the links for each control.
Further below is an image of the MSDN help screen that appears when the links don't work.
The image below occured when linking to the ImageCombo and TabStrip (similar images when using controls 2.5, 2.6, and 3.6
