Adding Custom Buttons to Flash Help Skin

Hi.. Can anyone suggest me how to add custom buttons to
FlashHelp Skin. I know we can do this in WebHelp don't know how to
do that in FlashHelp. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank
you..

In a VI go to Edit >> Run-Time Menu to change the menu seen to the user when the VI is running.
To handle when a selection is made use the Event structure. There are are several shipped examples in the Example Finder.

Adding custom buttons to the Rich Text Editor in CQ

Hi,
I have added custom buttons to the rich text editor in order to allow our editors to add specific content, such as popovers, custom videos and other data necessary data.
I have successfully modifed the Rich Text editor so, that it includes the custom buttons in the actions panel.
I have also managed to make the buttons work and include the data where necessary, when user highlights the text and clicks on a certain button.
The last bit I am struggling with, is the visual feedback we give to the users when this text has associated action with it.
E.g. when we select this text and make it bold when we click on the word B the button B becomes highlighted in the actions panel, later when we continue typing our text and click again on "bold" the letter B becomes highlighted again.
Is there any button related callback/method I could overwrite to add this functionality and make my button highlighted ?
Thanks,
Puzanovs

After lot's of thinking found a solution....
Essentially the first step is to extend the CQ.form.rte.plugins.Plugin in your custom button.
Then during the UI initialisation we create our "custom"
var pressButton = new ui.TbElement("press-button", this, true,this.getTooltip("press-button")); // Essential extend of the button
setInterval(function() {
                 if(window.jQuery) {
                     window.jQuery(document).ready(function () {
                         window.jQuery(".x-edit-glossary-insert").css({width:45,"background-image":"none"}); // Ignore the background
                         window.jQuery(".x-edit-glossary-insert").text("Press Button"); // Set the name
                        $(document).on({
                            mouseenter: function(){
                              window.jQuery(".x-edit-glossary-insert").html("<b>Press Button</b>"); // Set the name bold
                            mouseleave: function(){
                           window.jQuery(".x-edit-glossary-insert").html("Press Button"); // Set the name normal
                         }}, '.press-button');
             }, 100);
tbGenerator.addElement("press-button", plg.Plugin.SORT_LISTS, pressButton, 10); // element is inserted
Every time the element is inserted I add the following html
<span class="press-button">Test peter</span>
Now, every time in the editor, the content editor mouse overs the custom button it is higlighted in the RTE))

Adding Custom buttons to ECL Viewer

Hello Everyone,
We have a requirement where I need to add a custom button on the Redlining section of the ECL Viewer. Like currenty, SAP provides tools like Drawing a line or Square or Rectangle and also Insert Image kind of functionality when doing Redlining. So, the question is in this section along with SAP buttons, can I add a custom button out there which helps to provide my own functionality like adding custom drawing tools?
Please let me know if thats possible or does it requrie modifying some of the SAP DLL files.
Thanks,
Shashidhar.

Dear Shashidhar,
regarding your request I have to inform you that the ECL Viewer is developed by a third-party vendor company and so from SAP point of view there is no chance to enlarge the buttons for redlining in the ECL Viewer.
Best regards,
Christoph

AW 6.0.3 to AW 6.2.7 macros, custom buttons, dictionary, & online help files

Hello,
I have just "upgraded" from an iMac G3 "bondi" purchased ini December 2000 to an iMac PowerPC G4 "sunflower" that was used ca. 2002-2007. I have AppleWorks 6.0.2 on the G3 and AppleWorks 6.2.7 on the G4.
I have migrated all of my documents over ... and so far everything is great. A couple of questions.
Can I bring over two custom buttons: one to make bullets the other to number paragraphs that I created on the G3 iMac? If not, how do I recreate them? (I found an article that says you can't bring buttons from older versions of AW into AW6, but this is moving within iterations of AW6.
I had set up function keys to change the font color of the selected text: F1-black, F2-blue, F3-red. I also inadvertantly set up the same actions for command-1, command-2, and command-3. Is there any way to bring this over? Can I recreate on the G4?
Both were pretty straight-forward to set up, with macros, but I don't see any macro editor in AW 6.2.7.
I haven't tried to move over my dictionary. Is that relaltively straightforward?
Some of the "help" files are online. How can I access them?
Can I run 6.0.3 and 6.2.7 on the G4? If yes, what's to know?
I imaging I'm not the first person to pose these questions... .so I would appreciate any pointers to exisiting information.
-Dottie

Thank you, Roger.
I successfully installed AW 6.0.3 in Applications (OS 9) on my G4 iMac (with other OS 9 applications). (Sorry for the confusion: my G3 iMac was running 6.0.3 not 6.0.2.)
I was able to activate my macros.
Wasn't able to figure out how to get my user buttons that went with two of my five macros, so I just made new buttons (for bullets and numbering as on the toolbar of the window I'm composing this in!).
Had some trouble with the dictionary because not knowing what file extension to add to my User Dictionary. I successfully imported a text file I had exported from my G3 iMac and still ran into file recognition issues until I added .TXT and then the import worked perfectly. I tested it out on my big report. Success.
Enough for one day. I did download AW 6.2.9 so as to upgrade the OS X version of AW (6.2.7) at a later time. I don't plan to use 6.2.7 anyway. It's been three weeks making this transition. Finally back to work.
One question remains: the "Help" for both 6.0.3 and 6.2.7 has some links to files accessible online. Does Apple still make those available?

Adding custom button to Ribbon for custom list definition

I'm trying to add a custom button to the ribbon, specifically for a custom list definition. I have two custom list definitions, one for a document library (Type="11008") and one for a list (Type="10002").
I can use the following CustomAction to successfully add a button to the document library ribbon:
<CustomAction Id="MyCustomAction.DocLib"
RegistrationId="11008"
RegistrationType="List"
Location="CommandUI.Ribbon">
<CommandUIExtension>
<CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.Library.Share.Controls._children">
<Button
Id="MyCustomAction.DocLib.Button"
Alt="Help"
Sequence="5"
Command="SayHi"
Image32by32Left="-64" Image32by32Top="-320" Image32by32="/_layouts/$Resources:core,Language;/images/formatmap32x32.png"
Image16by16Left="-64" Image16by16Top="-176" Image16by16="/_layouts/$Resources:core,Language;/images/formatmap16x16.png"
LabelText="Say Hi!"
TemplateAlias="o1"/>
</CommandUIDefinition>
</CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIHandlers>
<CommandUIHandler Command="SayHi" CommandAction="javascript:alert('Hi!');"/>
</CommandUIHandlers>
</CommandUIExtension>
</CustomAction>
If I try to do the same thing for my list, the button does not show up:
<CustomAction Id="MyCustomAction.List"
RegistrationId="10002"
RegistrationType="List"
Location="CommandUI.Ribbon">
<CommandUIExtension>
<CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.List.Share.Controls._children">

</CommandUIDefinition>
</CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIHandlers>
<CommandUIHandler Command="SayHi" CommandAction="javascript:alert('Hi!');"/>
</CommandUIHandlers>
</CommandUIExtension>
</CustomAction>
What am I missing that is keeping me from getting this button to show up in my List ribbon?

Well, I debated just deleting my question, but I'll leave it up in case someone else runs into this. My custom list definition for my list had <Toolbar Type="Freeform" />. I don't remember why I changed that, but once I changed
that back to <Toolbar Type="Standard"/> my custom buttons started showing up as expected.
The answer
here pointed me in the right direction.

Adding custom buttons to JOptionPane

Hi,
I need to add custom buttons to my showMessageDialogue boxes.
I know that
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog
(null, "message body", "message title", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION,
JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);displays an information box with a 'Yes' and a 'No' button. But how do I include three or more custom buttons on such a box?
For example, I want to display an information message box with buttons: 'Auto', 'Prompt' and 'Never'.
What if I want to mix orthodox buttons, with my custom buttons? For example, putting 'Auto', 'Prompt' and 'Cancel' in one information message box?
Thanks,
Hasanka.

Use the last method for showMessageDialog. The options[] paremeter can take an array of Strings and return to you which button was pressed (by index).
showOptionDialog
public static int showOptionDialog(Component parentComponent,
                                   Object message,
                                   String title,
                                   int optionType,
                                   int messageType,
                                   Icon icon,
                                   Object[] options,
                                   Object initialValue)Brings up a modal dialog with a specified icon, where the initial choice is dermined by the initialValue parameter and the number of choices is determined by the optionType parameter.
If optionType is YES_NO_OPTION, or YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION and the options parameter is null, then the options are supplied by the Look and Feel.
The messageType parameter is primarily used to supply a default icon from the Look and Feel.
Parameters:
parentComponent - determines the Frame in which the dialog is displayed; if null, or if the parentComponent has no Frame, a default Frame is used
message - the Object to display
title - the title string for the dialog
optionType - an integer designating the options available on the dialog: YES_NO_OPTION, or YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION
messageType - an integer designating the kind of message this is, primarily used to determine the icon from the pluggable Look and Feel: ERROR_MESSAGE, INFORMATION_MESSAGE, WARNING_MESSAGE, QUESTION_MESSAGE, or PLAIN_MESSAGE
icon - the icon to display in the dialog
options - an array of objects indicating the possible choices the user can make; if the objects are components, they are rendered properly; non-String objects are rendered using their toString methods; if this parameter is null, the options are determined by the Look and Feel.
initialValue - the object that represents the default selection for the dialog
Returns:
an integer indicating the option chosen by the user, or CLOSED_OPTION if the user closed the Dialog

Adding custom buttons to UITableViewCell - iphone

Hello all.
I have a question for the iphone developers,
I want to add several buttons to a UITableViewCell in a grouped TableView I have set up.
The requirements are this:
1) Place two buttons together in a view.
2) Add up to 4 of these views to a UITableViewCell.
It would look like this
row1: O O O O
row2: O O O O
Where each O is a view containing two buttons on top of each other. These buttons, when clicked, take you to a new View.
Anyway, I hope I can get some help, I'm quite new to developing for the iphone.

I notice that IBAction methods have a sender parameter. Is this the UIButton object that gets pressed?
Yes. In the example, the sender is whichever button sent the 'upperAction' or 'lowerAction' message. There are two separate action methods because I took your description to mean that "upper" buttons would have a different function from "lower" buttons. But you could certainly connect all the buttons to one action method if desired.
Note the connection between button and action method is made by [addTarget:action:forControlEvents:|http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/d ocumentation/UIKit/Reference/UIControlClass/Reference/Reference.html#//appleref/doc/uid/TP40006779-RH2-SW4], which UIButton inherits from UIControl. This method makes an event-action connection just as if you had dragged from the button to the controller in IB. Of course doing this in code allows us to choose the target object and the action method dynamically.
it would nice if I could make a subclass of UIButton and then add info fields to that so I can easily access them without matching up tags.
That would be a poor decision. You would be duplicating the information stored in the data source, not a good reason to buy-in to the possible problems of a custom subclass. In fact, redundant data storage is usually poor design regardless of the extra effort. In other words, subclassing to duplicate the data model would be like paying to acquire an illness of some kind.
The way to do what you want is to use the sender's tag as a data source key. I think that was your first idea, which is why I saved it for last:
So with this implementation do I know what data to display by labeling the info with the same tag as the buttons?
Yes. Except you don't need to add any extra labels to the data source, and you can use any system you want to choose the tag numbers, just as long as you know the system (hint: an explanation of the numbering system should be added with inline comments, not just in an external document).
In the example code the "pair" number is in the hundreds place and the button number in the ones place. So tag 302 means "pair 3 button 2". In this case there are only two button positions in each set, "upper" (1) and "lower" (2). But the numbering system is extensible. So if you ever want a triple instead of a pair in each set, you shouldn't need to change much code.
So given the tag numbering system, how do we retrieve the additional info associated with each button? Well firstly, the button pair number is the same as the position of the matching dictionary in the array (which would normally reflect the order of the xml data stream). Here's an example that extends the previous action methods. Note that as the example gets closer to a real app, we need to add an ivar to save the data source array:
// DsanViewController.h
@interface DsanViewController : UIViewController {
NSMutableArray *dataArray;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *dataArray;
@end
// DsanViewController.m
#import "DsanViewController.h"
@implementation DsanViewController
@synthesize dataArray;
- (void)dealloc {
[super dealloc];
[dataArray release];
- (void)upperAction:(id)sender {
UIButton *button = sender;
int tag = button.tag;
int index = tag / 100 - 1;
NSDictionary *dict = [dataArray objectAtIndex:index];
// if we didn't have separate action methods, we would
// know upper from lower like this:
// BOOL is_upper = tag % 100 ? NO : YES;
// but in the current case, we already know sender is
// an upper button
NSString *title = [dict objectForKey:@"UpperTitle"];
NSString *info = [dict objectForKey:@"UpperInfo"];
NSLog(@"upperAction: tag=%d title=%@ info=%@", tag, title, info);
- (void)lowerAction:(id)sender {
UIButton *button = sender;
int tag = button.tag;
int index = tag / 100 - 1;
NSDictionary *dict = [dataArray objectAtIndex:index];
// we already know sender is a lower button
NSString *title = [dict objectForKey:@"LowerTitle"];
NSString *info = [dict objectForKey:@"LowerInfo"];
NSLog(@"lowerAction: tag=%d title=%@ info=%@", tag, title, info);
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// assume the xml data will be stored in an array of dictionaries
NSMutableArray *array = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:4];
// retain the array and save its address in an ivar
self.dataArray = array;
// same as previous example from here
// - in the real app, the array would be loaded from the xml parser at this point
When the remaining, previously posted viewDidLoad code is added after the last comment, the above is working, tested code, based on your original requirement description (except for an additional subview for each pair of buttons). Just paste directly from the forum into a new View-based App template. Nothing need be added to the xib, since all the buttons and connections are created dynamically, in code. I think you might benefit by building a testbed from the example code. That will give you a baseline for the UI, and you can use it to experiment with different button placements, etc.
Some books and classroom instructors teach "top-down" design by insisting on a complete functional design before writing the first line of code. This rarely works very well if you're new to the language, the API and the platform (especially if the language is Obj-C, the API is Cocoa and the platform is iPhone!!) In that case the best laid plans of mice and men can get hopelessly bogged down, first in syntax errors, then in runtime errors, and finally when the entire architecture proves incompatible with the support in the system. I prefer top-down-bottom-up-top-down-etc., so the top-down design is informed by what I actually know how to do.
If you build a testbed from the example code, I'm hoping that will save you from some of the more common gotchas that can keep your functional, top level design from becoming a reality.

Custom Buttons in WebHelp Skin

Hi all,
I am trying to add a button to my WebHelp version of my
project to enable readers to print the current topic. In my skin
editor, I managed to add a custom button, Print, with an image
entered window.print() in the JavaScript onClick field that is
provided (this is a standard JS call that prints the window). After
updating the view in the Skin Editor, the button is displayed, but
after re-generating the WebHelp layout, I can't see my new button.
I thought maybe the Advanced tab's Dependancies list might have
something to do with it, but I am not sure what it is for exactly.
Is there a trick to adding custom buttons to skins to get them to
display in the generated format?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
darkagn

Hi Captiv8r and thankyou for the super-fast response :)
Your reply allowed me to add the custom button to my skin.
However, the window.print() function only prints the area
with the buttons, not the topic itself. So I thought I'd re-post
and explain how I actually solved the problem of printing topics in
WebHelp in case anyone else needed the same info.
I ended up adding a button to the template that all of my
topics are derived from, in the footer so that the button remained
below the topic itself. I had to add the button in the HTML editor
with the following code:
<form style="text-align: right; padding-right: 10px;">
<input id=printbutton type=button onClick="window.print()"
value="Print Topic" style="width: 90px;">
</form>
Now, because the Print button appears in the same area of the
screen as the topic itself, the call to window.print() prints
everything in that frame (which unfortunately includes the button
itself, but this is a small price to pay to be able to print topics
from WebHelp).
Anyway, I hope this solution helps someone out
there...

Custom RH9 WebHelp skin: Problem opening PDF file from custom button

Hi, I've been troubleshooting and checking forums trying to figure out how to get a PDF file to open from a custom button on my WebHelp skin. It worked for me once upon a time, but I changed something in the document and tried to upload the new version and it has errored out ever since.
I want to have the ability to open the PDF in a new window from the custom button (called 'Printable PDF' on my skin), so I am using the following custom JavaScript in the 'Click On' field of the the custom button's components: window.open('print_test.pdf','printWindow','menubar=0,resizable=0,width=900,height=500,scr ollbars=1'); I know the script is good because I have the same script for the Support custom button and it works great. The only difference between those scripts is the Support script calls an .html file instead of a PDF and the window names says 'supportWindow' instead of 'printWindow'.
I've tried deleting and recreating the custom button, changing the JavaScript with a developer's help, generating the help on another machine thinking it was a glitch with my browser (using IE8) or RoboHelp license, and combing the help files numerous times. I've also ensured that the PDF file is stored in the skin and project folders along with the other project files/folders. I've used previous versions of RoboHelp and had no problems attaching a Word document and PDF, so I'm wondering if this is a bug in RH9?? Especially since it worked for me initially. Any assistance and/or fresh ideas are welcomed! Thank you!

Hello again
Happy I was able to help.
MOTW is only present and affects things when you are running content off your local C drive. It's value is in preventing that Yellow Information Bar and all that from appearing when you are using IE. Once you publish content to a server and access it that way you are in a different security zone and MOTW has no influence either way. So there would be no adantage to enabling it before publishing to a server. The only reason you might want to consider enabling it would be if you were copying the WebHelp to everyone's hard drive and having them run it from their hard drives.
Make sense?
Hope so... Rick

Add Alt Attribute Info to a Custom Button

I have created an alternative to editing the
“whtbar.js” file to give an image alt attribute
information. We have a custom button in our help file that needed
alt information, but we had already incorporated the text into the
button’s image and did not want to add the text label. We
also did not like the visual border treatment that adding a text
label did to the button.
I wrote this JavaScript function that will not only
accomplish this, but it will also capture the functionality that
RoboHelp creates for the OnClick event handler and duplicates it in
an OnKeyPress event handler for that same button. I have
successfully tested this script in both IE (IE 6.0) and Mozilla
(Firefox 1.5), and it appears to work fine.

The OP probably tried to attach it to their post, but it was stripped by the forum software. Hopefully they can show a screenshot image (using the camera icon in the web interface) to display the coding.

Custom buttons in hierarchical alv through OO prog

Hi, i have created an hierarchical alv through factory method. I display the gr_table of type cl_salv_hierseq_table.
I wish to add custom buttons at the top.
I searched a lot and mostly found solutions for adding custom buttons in grid of type cl_gui_alv_grid.
There the event 'toolbar' of class cl_gui_alv_grid is used.
In cl_salv_hierseq_table , i could not find any events,
Could anyone please help me in adding custom buttons in the hieerarchical alv.

Looking at the details in cl_salv_functions - enable_functions, it looks like adding your own function is only supported in a grid and tree view.
