What is Embedded HTML-based Help?
Embedded Help is Help that appears within the application rather than
in a separate Help window. The first example of embedded Help to gain
much attention was Microsoft Money 99. When the user selects "Help
Topics" form the Help menu, the Money 99 Help attaches to the right
side of the application. The Help offers tutorials, explanations, and
demonstrations to help the user use and learn Microsoft Money.
Embedded Help can be created for current version C++ or Visual Basic
applications by embedding an Active X-based web browser into your
application. The Help itself is created using HTML files.

This looks like an old article, but hoping it and the zip archive of
source code may be of help to your developers - modifiable to suit
your needs:

Apparently a zip with the same size, and a visually identical dialog
screenshot, is also hosted at
