Browse Sequence

After upgrading to RH8, I am unable to get the Browse Sequence to appear in my HTML project. I have it check to appear in the window, but for some reason it is missing when I generate and view the output. I had a previous post about this over a year ago when I lost it, but this is different. I have verified that the browse sequence is still configured, but I am starting to think that this was a change in RH8 that I missed.
My clients would like it back, but I am not sure how to accomplish this if I do not know why it is missing. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have attached some images of before and after.
This is the old output:
This is the current output:

Have you checked that the HHACTIVEX.DLL file is still installed and registered on your end user's PC. Maybe the version of the file registered on the end user's PC is different from yours. It may be worth while installing it with the CHM.

Exporting the Browse Sequence XML file for Use in Another Project

When I generate a browse sequence based on the TOC using zero for the book level, instead of getting A, A1, A2, B, B1, B2, I get A, B, A1, A2, B1, B2. The TOC runs through all 1st level items first, cycles back through all 2nd level item, then 3rd level, etc.
My workaround was to auto-create the browse sequence at a 0 level and then manually manipulate it to output according to how my readers would actually read my online book (ie A Aa A1 A1a A1b A2 A2a A2b B B1 etc etc).
Now that I have my browse sequence in the correct order for this project, I do not want to repeat these steps every time I create a new version of my OLH for the same guide after some minor updates have been made to the FM source.
There is a file named whbrs.xml inside the output folder and it contains the browse sequence order I specified during my workaround steps.
Is it possible to export this file to another location for use in another project referencing the same guide?
This methodology is much preferred as I am working at an enterprise level with multiple documents (some numbering in the hundreds of pages) and do not want to have to manually use my workaround for each project I update over the next few years.

Hi Kristopher
You probably wouldn't want to use that particular file as it's an output file. You would likely have better luck using the ProjectName.BRS file as that one should be a source file.
However, keep in mind that whether (or how well) this will work will entirely depend on having the recipient project using the same identical structure and identical file names.

Is there a way to set up browse sequences for project with multiple TOCs and conditionalized modules

I'm using RoboHelp 9 with WebHelp output.
I've got five outputs, one of which contains Help for common functions, while the other four contain Help for licensed modules. When a user opens the Help for a licensed module, the user sees the core Help and the licensed Help. In addition, files are conditionalized so that searching for unlicensed content from a licensed Help module brings up nothing.
I've been troubleshooting problems with the Previous Topic and Next Topic which, thanks to William, I learned are related to browse sequences. After trying assorted configurations, I've got a couple of questions:
Does RH support only a single browse sequence in a project, even when the project has multiple outputs & TOCs?
If RH supports only a single browse sequence, does that mean there is no way to create a unique browse sequence for each separate output?
If RH supports multiple browse sequences, what is the workflow?
I also maintain a 'master' TOC that contains all the modules, both common and unlicensed. What I've done for now is to autocreate a browse sequence based on the 'master TOC'. When I generate output for a licensed module, which is conditionalized, I only see the TOC for that module and, therefore, can only browse between books and subbooks in that module. I've also verified that topics that do not appear in the conditionalized module, such as for another licensed module, do not appear in the Search results list either.

Me again, Carol
You also asked about the functional differences between WebHelp and WebHelp Pro, so let me elaborate.
I'm aware of only two major differences (other than the extra benefits of feedback analytics reports and management of "Areas" with authentication in RoboHelp Server).
The behavior of Browse Sequences as explained above
The fact that Content Categories are not supported in WebHelp Pro for this latest version 9.
As for the Browse Sequences you are trying to provide for different modules (licensed, etc.): Multiple Browse Sequences are included in a single .BRS file. The sequences are defined in the XML within the single file.
As a workaround (for either WebHelp or WebHelp Pro) you could create a NGP Help.brs. which you have already created for one module; then backup and archive it. Then, create a modification for the different module before you generate again. The NGP Help.brs. will need to have the same name as your project so you will have to manage the desired .brs file into the project folder when you generate that version. All of your other choices (TOC, Index, Conditional Tags, etc.) would remain the same for the respective modules.
Finally, I note that you are apparently generating WebHelp Pro right now even though you are not publishing it to the RH Server? This is really not the best practice. You should generate plain WebHelp for a web server that does not have RH Server on it (even though you may be getting away with it). As for your concern about "breaking" something; each output is placed in a different !SSL! folder automatically when you generate, so you should be able to generate WebHelp without interferring with the WebHelp Pro output. Then, you can re-publish to the RH Server using WebHelp Pro whenever the server is ready.

No glossary or browse sequence in 1 chm

On my own PC, I have four classic HTML chm Help files (User
Guides for biometric and encryption software end users). Each Help
file has only one .glo glossary file in the project, which I can
edit and view. Each project has the HHactive.dll in the same folder
as the chm file. When compiled however, I see glossary panes in
only three of the Help files.
Researching this, the RoboHelp help says something about
browse sequence. Of course, it does not say what this is or provide
a link to it! I did however create them using the Browse Sequence
Editor on the Tools menu. Sure enough, neither the Browse Sequence
or the glossary appear in that particular Help file.

Hi there
If you look at the Project Manager side (earlier than version
7) or click View > Pods > Project setup, you should see a
pseudo folder named "Windows". Expand that and double-click the
window assigned to this project.
Cheers... Rick

Possible to hide browse sequences?

I have a few topics in my chm that do not contain browse
sequences. They are standalone topics that do not appear in the TOC
or index. When the help is called from the application, they are
launched in the right pane of the chm. The problem I have is that a
"default" browse sequence will still appear at the top of the chm
even though the topics don't have any assigned browse sequences.For
these topics, is it possible to hide the browse sequences from
appearing?

Hi Emmanuel
Actually this should be possible. What you would do is to
create a new window that would be used for your context sensitive
calls. Then when your developer calls the help, they specify the
window it should appear in. That window would be configured with no
browse sequence bar.

Browse sequence in Windows Vista 64-bit?

This is a duplicate post. I posted it nestled down in another browse sequence thread and didn't get any nibbles, so I am creating a new thread. I hope no one minds.
Hi all, I'm wondering if I can get a little help from the gurus here. I've been through the forums and internet trying to find the answer to browse sequences and glossary tabs in Windows Vista 64-bit. I am running Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium Service Pack 2.
I need to mention that my .chm files work fine on Windows XP (multiple machines tested). My project consists of a master .chm (thanks Peter Grainge for the step-by-step, which I followed to the letter) with 15 slave projects.
I've copied the hhactivex.dll from the Program Files\Adobe\RoboHelp\RoboHTML (426 KB) on my Windows XP machine and saved it in the following folders on my Windows Vista 64-bit machine:
c:\windows\system32
c:\windows\sysWOW64
I then tried using the cmd.exe command prompt (as administrator) in c:\windows\system32 to do the following:
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\hhactivex.dll
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\hhctrl.ocx
Both commands registered successfully. When I opened the .chm, the glossary and browse sequence are still not working properly.
So, I then tried unregistered hhactivex.dll and hhctrl.ocx in the c:\windows\system32 folder using the regsvc32 and the cmd.exe (as administrator) in that same folder.
I then tried using the cmd.exe command prompt (as administrator) in c:\windows\sysWOW64 to do the following:
regsvr32 c:\windows\sysWOW64\hhactivex.dll
regsvr32 c:\windows\sysWOW64\hhctrl.ocx
Both commands registered successfully. When I opened the .chm, the glossary and browse sequence are still not working properly.
I've been pulling my hair out on this one. I've seen posts mentioning the "Unblock" Button on the .chm's Properties - General tab - Advanced dialog, but I do not have an Unblock button anywhere in the properties for these .chms. I also do not have the Microsoft KB 89xxxxx security updates on my Vista 64-bit computer that I can find.
I also say a post that put the path/filename in quotes when using regsvr32. I tried registering again using the same scenarios above in system32 (regsvr32 "c:\windows\system32\hhactivex.dll") and sysWOW64 (regsvr32 "c:\windows\sysWOW64\hhactivex.dll") but still I cannot get the browse sequences/glossary to work in thses compiled .chms -- whether opening the master or the slave.
After I registered the hhactivex.dll on a Windows XP test machine, if I opened a .chm and then went into Windows Explorer and tried to delete the hhactivex.dll, I'd get a "file in use" error. However, when I open a .chm on my Vista 64-bit machine and try to delete the hhactivex.dll in either system32 or sysWoW64, it deletes without error. I verified this with all of the different registering methods I described in this post (registering, testing, unregistering, moving to next folder, etc.). Being able to delete the .dll on the Vista machine tends to make me believe that the .dll isn't really registering, Either way, it isn't being accessed when a .chm file is opened like on a Windows XP machine.
I've been around the internet trying to find out exactly how to register .dlls in Vista 64-bit, and unless I'm totally missing something I believe I am doing this correctly. If I am doing something wrong, could someone guide me in the right direction with a complete step-by-step method that works in Vista 64-bit?
I have yet to test Vista 32-bit or any version of Windows 7, but I am hoping that once I resolve the problem in Vista 64-bit that the rest will be non-issues. I hope anyway, as I have no means to test those platforms.
Thanks in advance for making it to the end of this long post of mine. I appreciate any help!

The 32bit version of HH.exe is kept in "C:\Windows\SysWOW64". When you double click a CHM file on a 64 bit machine, it launches the 64 bit version of hh.exe kept in C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 directory.
To launch a CHM with 32 bit version hh.exe, run the following command in a 64 bit machine C:\Windows\SysWOW64\hh.exe <CHM file Path>
The other good news is that you can get the 64 bit version of HHActiveX.dll in RoboHelp 9.0. It is kept at "<RoboHelp 9.0 install folder>\Redist\x64\HHActiveX.dll"
If RoboHelp 9.0 is installed on your machine, this activeX control is already registered. Otherwise you need to register this DLL.
To register 64bit version of HHActiveX.dll,
1> Run Command prompt(cmd.exe) as administrator
2> Type "regsvr32 <64 bit HHActiveX.dll full path>" and press Enter.
3> This should show that the registration is done successfully.
Now working with 64 bit version of HH.exe should also show Glossary and Browse Sequences.

How can i get browse sequence widgets to follow hyperlinks instead of TOC?

I've created a screen layout based on the standard desktop layout and am using the default browse sequence (back, next) widget buttons included with the layout. Our topics include a number of hyperlinks to other help topics - for example, a dialog box overview topic might include a link to a how to topic for that dialog. I would like the browse sequence buttons to follow the hyperlink paths to the previous and next topics viewed. Right now, they instead go to the previous and next topics in the TOC. Is there a way to modify the properties of the buttons to follow the hyperlinks instead?
Thanks for your help!

I think you are confusing Previous and Next in a browse sequence with Previous and Next as in path followed by the user.
A browse sequence is not necessarily the next item in a TOC. It is whatever you set up, TOC order is a default.
You can have path followed Previous and Next in addition using javascript methods. You will find solutions posted in these forums.

Browse sequence buttons not appearing in RoboHelp 9 .chm file

When I first created this project two years ago, I didn't think I'd be using browse sequences. Well, of course, things change, and now I think it would be a good idea.
I followed the instructions for creating a browse sequence automatically (Tools > Browse Sequence Editor, then Auto-create from TOC). That seemed to work.
I compile the .chm file. No >> buttons.
How do I enable them? I looked at the master page layout and didn't see anything there. I looked at the Project Settings (File > Project Settings) and couldn't see anything there.
I've searched the RH 9 help and can't find any reference. My guess is that they must appear automatically and I must have, in my infinite wisdom (HA!) deleted them two years ago when I thought I didn't need them.
Suggestions?

Hi, MM Acton
Allow me to chime in with my esteemed colleagues. The first issue I see is that you do not have a Window Defined. You need a window in order to select the Browse Sequence Option for the CHM.
In Project Set Up create a new window, selecting Microsoft HTML Help as the type
On the Microsoft HTML Help Options Dialog, give the Window a name such as "CHMWindow" (No spaces)
Be sure to "tick" the Browse Sequence option and click OK
Double click the Microsoft HTML Help Single Source Layout to bring up the HTML Help Options dialog
From the Default Window drop down, select the CHMWindow you created
Save and Generate
This will show the browse sequence "icon avenue" (the showy icons at the top of the CHM)
As for the Citrix thing. If the machine hosting the CHM being viewed has the HHActiveX.DLL installed, the CHM should display as advertised. Tell your Admin that Adobe licenses unlimited re-distribution of that DLL.
You can find documentation on this redistribution license and how to register it in the online help:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11aff59c2a0-7f49.ht ml
Here is the path where you will find the DLL itself:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 10\Redist
BTW, the reason the DLL was created in the first place is that Microsoft never provided a Browse Sequence or a Glossary tab in their "out of the box" offering so RoboHelp conveniently provides this to authors as a "extra".
Hope this helps

RH8 browse sequence based on TOC not working as expected

I have several standalone projects for which RoboHelp's browse sequence tool correctly generates the browse sequence based on the TOC using a book level of 0 (zero) so that it picks up everything in order. If a project has books A and B (which are not themselves topics), and each book has two subtopics, A1, A2, B1, B2, the TOC-based browse sequence is A1, A2, B1, B2. For a project I inherited (originally designed as 40 separate merged projects that I combined into a single .xpj project), "books" A and B for the example above are also topics. When I generate the browse sequence based on the TOC using zero for the book level, instead of getting A, A1, A2, B, B1, B2, I get A, B, A1, A2, B1, B2. The TOC runs through all 1st level items first, cycles back through all 2nd level item, then 3rd level, etc. Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas how to fix it? Does the problem have anything to do with the fact that the "books" in this project are also "topics"?

Create a new TOC and make it a copy of the existing TOC.
Then remove the topics from the books and try again with the browse sequence.
I don't know that will fix it but it is what I would try first.

Links don't work with Browse Sequences

I have an image that links from one page in my project to
another. It works fine when I generate my primary layout without
browse sequences. But when I generate it with browse sequences,
clicking the image produces a blank page. The only way it will open
the page is if I set the Hyperlink Options to "Display in
Autosizing Pop-up". If I leave it set to "Display in Frame (Page
Default: none)" clicking the image produces a blank page.

Hello again
I'm not saying you are full of squash, just that I'm unable
to duplicate it using my own copy of RoboHelp 6. I tested by
linking an image to a different topic with no browse sequence in
the mix. Compiling and testing. Then creating a Browse Sequence and
recompiling and testing again. Mine worked.
This is a bit of VooDoo, but you might wish to try defining a
totally new window, configuring that as the default and compiling
again. See if that changes things.

Missing Browse Sequences in HTML Help

Problem
Browse sequences in our Microsoft HTML help (.CHMs) are missing after we upgraded from RoboHelp x5 (running WinXP Pro) to RoboHelp 9 (running Win7, 64-bit).
Background
We've been using RoboHelp x5 and RoboSource Control 2.3 version control for several years. Prior to 2012, our RoboSource Control server machine was a WinXP Pro VM session, while our 3 RoboHelp/RoboSource Control client (author) machines were physical WinXP Pro machines.
After the first of this year, our 3 client machines were replaced with Windows 7 Enterprise, 64-bit physical machines. In order to continue running RoboHelp x5, we created a Windows XP Pro virtual machine on each client machine; Robohelp x5 and the RoboSource Control 2.3 client software were then installed and run from the WinXP VM environment. Browse sequences were included in the many (at least 4 per month) CHMs that we compiled/generated during the several months that we ran in this environment without any issues.
We just (over the past few weeks) upgraded to Adobe's Technical Communication Suite 3.5 (RoboHelp HTML 9 and RoboSource Control 3.1). A new Windows 7 Enterprise, 64-bit VM was created for the RoboSource Control server installation, and we simply installed the RoboHelp 9 and RoboSource Control 3.1 client software directly on our 3 Windows 7 client machines. We did not remove the VM sessions from the client machines, but we don't run them either.
Since we upgraded RoboHelp to version 9 (which is also to say, started running RoboHelp in a true Windows 7 64-bit environment), none of our browse sequences appear when we compile/generate a .CHM in RoboHelp 9 and then launch the .CHM from anywhere OTHER THAN within the RoboHelp HTML application. If we launch the Help from within RoboHelp, using either the Generate Primary Layout function (and then view result) or the View Primary Layout function (HTML Help is our primary layout), the browse sequences appear and function properly.
I've already researched (including this forum and all the previous posts on this issue) and run tests, attempting to identify the cause and/or resolve the issue. The actual tests and results are listed after the next section (which provides technical details on what I believed to be the critical aspects of this issue within our environment; perhaps someone will spot something regarding the version of the HHActiveX.dll or a path/value for one of the registry settings).

Troubleshooting Tests and Results
Test 1: Ran command line: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\HH.exe C:\Documents\DSISWHelp\DSISWHelp.chm
Result: Browse sequences PRESENT.
Test 2: Ran command line: C:\Windows\HH.exe C:\Documents\DSISWHelp\DSISWHelp.chm
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 3: Ran command line: C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-htmlhelp_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_24 4ae8599e6d81bb\HH.exe C:\Documents\DSISWHelp\DSISWHelp.chm
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 4: Ran command line: C:\Windows\winsxs\wow64_microsoft-windows-htmlhelp_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_2e 9f92abd2ce43b6\HH.exe C:\Documents\DSISWHelp\DSISWHelp.chm
Result: Browse sequences PRESENT.
Test 5: Deleted HHP, CPD, and created new HTML Help SSL definition. Opened project, compiled with new SSL, opened CHM from Windows Explorer via double-click.
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 6: RoboHelp install again. Didn't see any "repair" options, so I ran the install over the existing one. Then deleted HHP, CPD, and created new HTML SSL definition. Compiled. Opened the CHM from Windows Explorer via double-click.
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 7: Edited the browse sequences to see if that would trigger or set a flag. Note: I already compared the "flags" (it's actually a number sequence) in the RHwnd.apj file (via Notepad) to the "flags" in the RHwnd.apj file. While I don't know which one represents browse sequence enabling, the number sequences were identical. Note: I compared RHwnd.apj files pre- and post-Browse Sequence enabling (with no other changes), but the flag values were completely different (it's not a simple 0/1 flag).
Result: N/A
Test 8: I copied older CHMs that were generated/compiled in RoboHelp x5 over to my local, Window 7 Enterprise, 64-bit, SP1, machine. Launched the CHMs from Windows Explorer by double-clicking on them.
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 9: I browsed over our network (via Windows Explorer) to our old RoboHelp x5/RoboSource Control 2.3 server, and launched older CHMs that were generated/compiled in RoboHelp x5 and still sitting on that machine, by double-clicking on them.
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 10: I logged on (via RDS) to our old RoboHelp x5/RoboSource Control 2.3 server (WinXP), and launched older CHMs that were created (and never upgraded) in RHx5 by double-clicking on them.
Result: Browse sequences PRESENT.
Test 11: I logged on (via RDS) to our old RoboHelp x5/RoboSource Control 2.3 server (WinXP), opened Windows Explorer on that machine, browsed over the network to our new RoboHelp 9/RoboSource Control 3.1 server (Win7), and then launched new CHMs that were generated/compiled in RoboHelp 9 by double-clicking on them.
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 12: I logged on (via RDS) to our older RoboHelp x5/RoboSource Control 2.3 server (WinXP), copied CHMs that were generated/compiled on our new RoboHelp 9/RoboSource Control 3.1 server (Win7) in RoboHelp 9 over to the WinXP machine, and then launched them by double-clicking on them.
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
CONCLUSIONS
The machine you are logged on to matters more than where the CHM resides (that is, locally or on another networked machine), or even the version of RoboHelp that it was compiled/generated in (although as my next conclusion states, this last one does appear to matter).
Supporting evidence: CHMs that were compiled/generated in RoboHelp x5 only display browse sequences when they are launched (via double-click) locally from a WinXP machine. Browse sequences are absent when they're launched from a Win7 machine.
The version of RoboHelp that the CHM was compiled in matters.
Supporting evidence: Browse sequences in RoboHelp 9 generated/compiled CHMs do not appear, even when the CHMs reside on a WinXP machine. Is HHActiveX.dll somehow incorporated into the generate/compile process?
Either HH.exe or HHActiveX.dll, or both, matter.
Supporting evidence: Browse sequences appear in RoboHelp 9 generated/compiled CHMs on a Win7 machine when I launch the CHM from a command line, specifying which HH.exe to use.
Is this a function of the HH.exe (there are multiple instances of HH.exe on my Win7 machine, but the command line solution doesn't work for all of them; plus, each files seems to be identical/the same version), or
is it a function of HHActiveX.dll (does HHActiveX.dll registration control which HH.exe works, which would explain why some of HH.exe's don't work from a command line; the assumption here, then, is that when I double-click a CHM, the default HH.exe that is used isn't the one that's registered)?

Hello again
Hopefully Colum won't mind my offering a few answers here and there,
RoboFan wrote:
Thanks for the response, Rick. I appreciate the feedback.
A few follow-up questions...
Can you confirm that neither the version of HH.exe, nor its file path matter?
Unsure what you mean by the version of HH.exe mattering. If you double-click a CHM file on a 64 bit Windows system, it appears that it automatically opens the 64 bit version of HH.exe. Short of having an installation routine of some sort that reconfigures the operating system to open the 32 bit version instead, I can't fathom a way that you would be able to influnce the behavior. Obviously, application developers are able to force this choice. I say that because after you compile and choose to View Result, RoboHelp opens the 32 bit version of the CHM viewer. Now whether this is behavior that is designed by the application developer or whether it's standard Windows behavior with RoboHelp being a 32 bit application is beyond me. Only Adobe can really say for sure what is going on.
How do I identify/verify that an instance of HHActiveX.dll is the 32-bit version?
How do I identify/verify that an instance of HHActiveX.dll is the 64-bit version?
I'm not sure there is a way. At least I'm not knowing a way. I think the best you can do is supply both versions and tell your installation team to register both. Then it shouldn't matter, no?
Where can I obtain the 64-bit version of HHActiveX.dll?Based on my research, it appears that C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 9\Redist on our 64-bit machines would be one such location. Can you verify this?
I think Colum answered that.
Where should the 64-bit version of HHActiveX.dll that I subsequently register, reside (i.e., file path)?
Wherever you (or more precisely your installation team) decide to place it.
Likely you will think that answer is a bit snarky. But it's not intended to be that way. I'm just being honest. That's why you have to register it with Windows. The process of registering the DLL tells Windows where it is and how to work with it.
Should I replace all 32-bit instances of HHActiveX.dll on our 64-bit machines?
I've never encountered a need to replace versions. But again, likely only Adobe can answer that one with a straight face.
Assume I successfully register the 64-bit version of HHActiveX.dll. If our primary layout in RoboHelp HTML is HTML Help and I invoke the Generate Primary Layout function (and view result) or View Primary Layout function in RoboHelp HTML (i.e., I launch a .CHM from within RoboHelp HTML), will RoboHelp HTML re-register the 32-bit version of HHActiveX.dll? And if this is the case, does that mean I'll have to go back and re-register the 64-bit version each time I use either of those functions?
Launching the file does nothing to register the dll. That's why there is a separate process. The act of registering should be a one off. I believe what happens is that the Windows Registry is modified with information that HH.exe (64 bit or 32 bit) uses to determine what to do with the dll(s). Again, I'm not an application developer nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night so I can't claim to be one.
I believe that once you get both dlls properly registered, it won't matter if you launch the 64 bit or the 32 bit version of HH.exe. The Browse Sequence window should then show. (Incidentally, the same dll also manages behavior of the Glossary tab functionality in a CHM)
What happens in a mixed (32-bit/64-bit) environment?
Our in-house network contains a mix of 32-bit and 64-bit machines.
We post a .CHM (with browse sequences) to a standalone PC (no RoboHelp applications are installed on this particular PC) on our in-house network.
All the 32-bit and 64-bit machines on the network can access this single .CHM file via a shortcut.
Does the existence and registration of HHActiveX.dll matter for just the PC hosting the .CHM, just the PCs accessing the .CHM, or all PCs? And which versions of HHActiveX.dll need to be registered for which machines?
Yeah, good luck with that. Years ago, Microsoft modified the behavior of CHM content to disallow working that way. CHMs are intended to be copied to *EACH PC* using it. There are ways to modify the Windows Registry to allow CHM to still work that way, but it's something your IT staff have to manage. And by modifying things to allow it, you have to relax security and that makes a machine more vulnerable to attacks down the road. Years later, Peter Grainge still reports that his page on this is still among the most often visited. Click here to visit Peter's page.
Hope I managed to satisfactorily answer your "few" other questions. I tried... LOL

RoboHelp HTML v9 - Browse Sequence not appearing when generated

RoboHelp HTML v9
New project - eg not converted from previous version
Added a browse sequence as per the help documentation - I've followed the help documentation however when I get to view result of the generated WebHelp - the browse sequence is not present on the topic pages that were added to the browse sequence.
I read previous forum postings for RH8 - where reinstalling or repairing the software seemed to assist - however when I access through control panel - add/remove programs the only option in to Remove RH9.
So I thought I'd ask the question here before uninstalling.
There was also mention of a dll file that needs to be registered on the viewers pc before the browse sequence would appear and if this is the case due to the possible audience for the publish I would not be able to control that.
Any help is appriciated, thanks.

Hi
Thanks - I guess I was looking for the page icons that visualized the
sequence for the viewer.
That being said - the navigation arrows are present in my published file
however seem to hold no functionality - while on a topic that is within
the browse sequence clicking the arrows does not move through the
sequence.
I was initially looking for onscreen navigation for a series of topics -
I though browse sequence would do the trick but I think I will move to
another method.

Subject:        RoboHelp HTML v9 - Browse Sequence not appearing

Hi there
Your mention of: "the browse sequence is not present on the topic pages
that were added to the browse sequence" seems to imply that you are
expecting to see the sequence directly on those pages. But that usually
won't happen.
Perhaps it will help to start by viewing the link below:

Then come back with any questions you may have.

Problem with the browse sequence back and browse sequence next widget placed in the screen layout

Hi,
Some basics: We are using Robohelp 10 to generate multiscreen html5 output. We used the pharmaceutical screen layout downloaded from: http://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/robohelp-screen-profiles-layouts.html but modified it to match our GUI.
We are having a problem with the browse sequence back and browse sequence next buttons placed in the screen layout from the widgets tool bar. We are in no way experts at this part of Robohelp...and the css portion of all this is a bit of mystery but we have managed to get mostly what we need. Now we just need these buttons to work. In the past we used Airhelp and things worked great. Can anyone help us understand why the sequence buttons are not showing up in the output even though it does in the topic preview?
Also
This shows up in the layout.css file:
a.wBSBackButton {
                margin: 0 8pt 0 0;
                padding: 0;
                background-color: transparent;
img.wBSBackButton {
                border: none;
a.wBSNextButton {
                margin: 0 8pt 0 0;
                padding: 0;
                background-color: transparent;
img.wBSNextButton {
                border: none;
Also btw, I forgot to mention that we are linking our FrameMaker files.
Appreciate the help.
Thanks!

hi pradeep
It does not happen but if you Wait for a while that may be solved

What exactly do the "levels" in Browse Sequence Editor mean?

Hi
I have a ToC with three levels Unit > Lesson > Topic > Sub Topic. This ToC is coming from the linked FM. The ToC is paginated at Topic level and Sub Topic is basically a section within the Topic.
Now, I wanted my users to navigate through the course at sub topic level using Browse Sequence buttons. For example, in the screenshot shared below, I want the users to move from First Sub Heading sub topic to Second Sub Heading topic using Browse Sequence buttons. I thought I could achieve this by increasing the browse sequence levels. But that is not working. So, I am curious. What do these mean? Can I actually achieve my goal at all? If browse sequence level is not the correct way, can somebody please help me with the right approach?
Thanks

Not really Rick. I want a new sequence to be created at Subheading level, that is, the 4th level. I will try to explain this further.
First level: I am on Unit 1. I click the Next button and I go to Unit 2. Works fine.
Second Level: I am on Lesson 1 of Unit 1. I click the Next button. I go to Lesson 2 of Unit 1. Works fine.
Third Level: I am on First-level heading of Unit 1 > Lesson 1. I click the Next button. I go to Second heading of Unit 1 > Lesson 1. Works fine.
Fourth Level: I am on First subheading of Unit 1 > Lesson 1 > First-level heading. I click the Next button. I must go to Second subheading of Unit 1 > Lesson 1 > First-level heading (which in my case is the Conditional text book). But it does not. Instead, it jumps from First subheading to Second-level heading.
Here is the screenshot again so that you don't have to scroll up.

Deleted browse sequence keeps appearing

I deleted the browse sequence of the main project and of the
only sub project. I checked both BRS files: they were empty.
There must be another place where the browse sequence is kept
and used by Robohelp.
Can anybody tell me in which file?
Earlier, the present main project was the sub project and the
sub project was the main project. The browse sequence that still
appears, is an old BS of the project that originally was the main
project.

Hi all
yellowpepper, the browse sequence is only stored in the .BRS
file. As you say it's still appearing, I'm thinking you are
probably seeing an older version of the file. You might wish to run
the errant file and right-click any topic page and look at the
properties. This should show something like:
mk:@MSITStore:C:\SomeFolder\SomeOtherFolder\FileName.chm::/SomeFolder/SomeTopic.htm
This should tell you where the file you are viewing is
located. I'm betting you find that it's not the file you think it
may be.

RH 9 - Can I edit browse sequence button sizes in a CHM?

I'm quite sure this is NOT possible, but I promised my localization coordinator, I'd ask.
The issue is that we have localized strings (from RH, not from our translators) that are overlapping on the Next and Previous buttons in some languages in the Browse Sequences. Like this:
I've looked, but I don't see a way to expand the button sizes. I know we can change the .lng file to use different (possibly shorter) terms than what RH picked for these, but a better solution would be to adjust the GUI for text expansion in localized languages.

Sorry Jared
All that functionality is embedded inside the guts of the HHActiveX.DLL file.
Cheers... Rick
