I'll be interested in reading that KB article. I am just about to start to write a image enabled viewer for use within my app to view graphical help info - sort of a bmp-enabled "I" button. Then I thought about the many viewers and Web browsers already out there and really didn't want to reinvent the wheel, so to speak. However, and this is my question to the forum and may be answered by the KB article:
Would anyone know which viewers support an appropriate launch code for this functionality? And, perhaps more importantly, how do I insure that the user returns to my app, where they left off, rather than at the App launcher. SubLaunching is fine if the app supports it, such as Dial, but how many browsers have an EXIT button that will simply pop themselves off the stack?
