I have created one chm file using robo help. But how do I edit it in runtime?

You don't! Why can't you just compile again after making the change?

once the chm file has been made it is stored in a static form?, if yes is that the reason why it can't be edited online?

Correct. I believe CHM stands for Compiled Help Manual.

I believe there may be ways to hack it but they would be very risky and likely break things. Certainly it would not update the search for a start.

Another point here is that you refer to it being edited online. CHMs will not work from anything other than the user's PC. See CHM Files Not Working on Network.

See Item 33 at Snippets > Miscellaneous for information as to what type of help should be used for different scenarios.
