Step-1: From SDK Help browse to Developer Library » Tools and Utilities » Context-sensitive help guide

step-2:Using this guide create your application related .hlp and .hlp.hrh file

step-3: place this .hlp file c:\system\help folder.

step-3: In your appUi class declared the function

CArrayFix<TCoeHelpContext>* HelpContextL() const

step-4: In your HandleCommandL() method under help menuitem use this code.

CArrayFix<TCoeHelpContext>* buf = CCoeAppUi::AppHelpContextL();		
HlpLauncher::LaunchHelpApplicationL(iEikonEnv->WsSession(), buf);

step-5: code for HelpContextL() method

CArrayFix<TCoeHelpContext>* CMYAPPUI::HelpContextL() const
   {
 
	TUid KUidHelpExampleApp; // this is the uid of your .hlp file.
 
    CArrayFixFlat<TCoeHelpContext>* array = 
                new(ELeave)CArrayFixFlat<TCoeHelpContext>(1);
    CleanupStack::PushL(array);
	array->AppendL(TCoeHelpContext(KUidHelpExampleApp,KContext1));
    CleanupStack::Pop(array);
    return array;
 //KContext1 is the help context,you get this value from your .hlp.hrh 
 
file  
 
	}

step-5: include it in your .pkg file

"app.hlp: -"!:\resource\help\app.hlp"
