Add Custom help .chm files to LabVIEW help

I'm creating an add-on for LabVIEW, and would like our help files to be included in the LabVIEW help. We have a .chm file which works fine, but we are having trouble adding it to the lvhelp.chm file. Is there a way to do this without changing and recompiling the .chw file?

 

Thanks for any advice

Thanks for the reply muks. I have seen and tried the control online help vi. I'll clarify our problem a little bit: we have a chm file which we install on the user's computer with the LabVIEW add-on. As of now, the user can call the help file from the start menu, or from a vi which we installed to the "Tools" menu in LV. The user can use the detailed help and everything for our vi's with no issues. What we would like to do though is have the user be able to access our help file from the LabVIEW help file. So for example, if the user brought up the LabVIEW help with ctl+?, then they could find our help under contents, index, search, etc.

 

I'm pretty sure that this has something to do with the .chw file in the LV help folder, is this correct? Does anyone know if this is even possible?
