Kann man mit VB .NET (C#) Hilfe mit ALink anstatt mit KLink Schlüsselworten öffnen?

Ein Dank an Marius Greul! Er schrieb:

If you do it yourself, yes. If you choose to use Help.ShowHelp(), no.

The following should work (however, it does not...)
Help.ShowHelp(this, @"htmlhelp.chm", HelpNavigator.AssociateIndex,
"example");

Just like you would do a keyword lookup with
Help.ShowHelp(this, @"htmlhelp.chm", HelpNavigator.KeywordIndex, "zoom");

The problem itself lies in hhctrl.ocx: If you ever tried to do an A-link
lookup in a Unicode enabled application, you will notice that it does not
work as expected. According to the structure HH_AKLINK in htmlhelp.h all
strings are TCHARs. However, this is only true for the HH_KEYWORD_LOOKUP
command. If use the HH_ALINK_LOOKUP command, you always have to pass the
strings as CHARs.

The implementation of the .NET Help class does not correct for this bug.

If you use HtmlHelp in a Unicode enabled application (i.e. you use VB .NET),
you will have to create two copies of HH_AKLINK. If you use the
HH_KEYWORD_LOOKUP command, marshal the strings as Unicode. If you use the
HH_ALINK_LOOKUP command, marshal the strings as Ansi.

I'm attaching some code for C#.

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]
public struct HH_KLINK
{
public int cbStruct; // sizeof this structure
public bool fReserved; // must be FALSE (really!)
public string pszKeywords; // semi-colon separated keywords
public string pszUrl; // URL to jump to if no keywords found (may be NULL)
public string pszMsgText; // Message text to display in MessageBox if pszUrl
is NULL and no keyword match
public string pszMsgTitle; // Message text to display in MessageBox if
pszUrl is NULL and no keyword match
public string pszWindow; // Window to display URL in
public bool fIndexOnFail; // Displays index if keyword lookup fails.
}

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet=CharSet.Ansi)] // must
be ANSI!
public struct HH_ALINK
{
public int cbStruct; // sizeof this structure
public bool fReserved; // must be FALSE (really!)
public string pszKeywords; // semi-colon separated keywords
public string pszUrl; // URL to jump to if no keywords found (may be NULL)
public string pszMsgText; // Message text to display in MessageBox if pszUrl
is NULL and no keyword match
public string pszMsgTitle; // Message text to display in MessageBox if
pszUrl is NULL and no keyword match
public string pszWindow; // Window to display URL in
public bool fIndexOnFail; // Displays index if keyword lookup fails.
}

[DllImport("hhctrl.ocx", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, EntryPoint="HtmlHelp")]
public static extern int HtmlHelp(HandleRef hwnd, string file, uint command,
ref HH_KLINK klink);

[DllImport("hhctrl.ocx", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, EntryPoint="HtmlHelp")]
public static extern int HtmlHelp(HandleRef hwnd, string file, uint command,
ref HH_ALINK alink);
