Can I permanently disable the navigation pane in HTML help?

My company has a web-based application on MicroStrategy platform.
I have created a customized WebHelp to replace the MicroStrategy out of the box help and that works just fine.
We are developing the MicroStrategy Office add-in for Excel for our clients.
Once installed, a CHM file is copied to the client's local hard drive.
We want to replace this with our own customized help.
I have created a CHM file with ONE topic that redirects the clients to our customzied WebHelp with content for the add-in.
The one topic has a redirect in the HTML header code as follows:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=https://customhelp.htm#AddIn_Introduction.htm" />
That is working fine in my testing.
Here is my problem...
The HTML Help Viewer opens and automatically hides the Navigation Pane and displays the WebHelp (navigation pane, menu bar and topic pane).
But, the HTML Help Viewer still has the Hide/Show button to Hide/Show the navigation pane for the HTML help.
Is there ANY way to disable this or hide it or let it stay there but disable the navigation pane?
As always, any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks --

Amebr and Priyank --
Thanks - that did exactly what I wanted it to do.
It did not work in my testing, but I think the KEY point that I missed was the sequence of unchecking the options in the Window setup.
Now I have a one topic CHM help file that automatically redirects to my WebHelp on my application server.
The CHM opens and automatically redirects to my WebHelp and the WebHelp (frameset and all) display in an HTML Help Viewer window that has no HTML Help Viewer navigation buttons.
One last note, the WebHelp displays with the Contents/Index/Search for WebHelp included in the presentation.
I have not deployed this in a non-test environment so I may still run into issues but so far it is good.
THANKS for all the help.

  • How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?

    Hi.  My subject says it all.  How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?
    At first I thought I had a virus or something because when I typed only weird symbols came out.  Then I reset the computer.  Then I couldn't even log in.  I tried Time Machine etc.
    Then I realized that the "fn" key wasn't working right.  It seems to be working backwards.  It acts like it's being pushed when it's not, and when I do push it it acts like it's not being used.
    So it's kind of a simple problem but it's really annoying.
    Is there a way I can just disable it permanently?  Even physical force if necessary.  I tried to break it but it wouldn't break.  I don't really use the key anyway so it doesn't really matter.  I don't want to pay a bunch of money to replace a key I don't even use.
    Thanks.  I hope someone knows.

    That's the best answer.  Yeah usually if you press "fn" or "option" you can get it to work for awhile.
    Yeah I have considered some kind of external keyboard also.  It will make a laptop less laptopish.  But it could do the job for awhile.
    It's sad because I don't even care about the "fn" or "option" keys.
    But anyway it's not catastrophic at least.
    And yeah maybe we can get a new computer later or something.  I like mine though.  It's customized and is how I like it right now.
    Anyway thanks for the reply.

  • How can I permanently disable the pixel grid for all images forever?

    I keep turning this off with View -> Show -> Pixel grid and it keeps coming back every time I zoom in on a new image.
    Is there a registry setting I can change to permanently disable this feature? Or any other way?

    Perhaps a Prefs Reset will fix this. Hold down ctrl-alt-shift and start Photoshop.

  • Can't search for the term 'XML' in HTML-Help

    Hi!
    I work with RH8HTML (8.0.0.203), Windows Vista Business SP2 and IE 7.0.6002.18005.
    I've created some topics which include the term XML. When I create the HTML-Help, then search for the term XML, I am shown a message that says Help cannot search for that term. But when I create Web-Help, Help can search for it!
    I have checked the Stoplist and the List of ignored words, but XML is not listed.
    Does anybody have an explanation for this strange behaviour?
    Thanks for helping a help author!
    Kind regards,
    Kurt

    Hi all
    I just tested this in RoboHelp 8 and it was fine on my own system. The message Peter saw seems to be the typical "Click cancel to stop the search." I attempted to capture it on my own PC but it flashes by so quickly that it eludes me.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How can I permanent disable Game Center?!

    Okay, I'm on iOS 6, every time I play game (i.e. slots journey) the Game Center kept on pop up for me to log in. I cancel it and start play the game. How can I permanent DISABLE the Game Center?! This annoy me. I don't like when the Game Center automatically login. How in the world did it automatically login without it even ask for me to enter?! I want it OFF AND DISABLED PERMANENTLY!!!! :(

    I agree. I wish I could just remove this utterly useless app. I wouldn't have upgraded to ios6 I'd I knew that this update would be the most annoying thing to happen to iPhones since Angry Birds. One of the few things that helps me cope with the constant meltdown that is human society are my iPhone games. Now, I can't log into a single one without being nagged to log into Game Center. Guess what Apple? I'm not using your piece of crap app. Its bad enough that the App Store barely functions, but now you want to force users to use this crappy app that the vast majority of us don't use, don't want, and have no purpose for. If I wanted to have meaningless competitions with the boneheads who insist on calling themselves my "friends", I'd grab a measuring stick and drop my pants with them.
    Nagging users to death doesn't make them any more excited about a stupid, worthless app that was made for the sake of appearing "cutting edge".

  • Can I adjust the width of the navigation pane?

    Hello, I've got a WebHelp project. It will generally be used on touchscreens. This forum gave me great advice on making the fonts bigger for TOC and Indiex items by going to the WebHelp Skin Editor.
    Well, I was wondering if I could actually make the width of the navigation pane wider. In the Skin Editor, you can drag the pane (like you can in compiled help, but that doesn't seem to hold upon compilation. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi there
    Two things
    Yes, you can adjust the pane. Check out the Skinny on Skins for detailed steps. Click here

  • Sequence of free characteristic in the Navigation pane

    Hi Experts,
    How can we specify a sequence to the free characteristics in the navigation pane in WAD (BI 7)
    for eg: i have to specify: in the wad like this
    1. Zone manager
    2. Area manager
    3. Region manager
    4. District manager
    As of now i only see one option, which alphabetically sorts it out, but i dont want that. I need to specify as per the above sequence.
    Points would be rewarded suitably.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Its the standard way the SAP behaves. Maybe you have to live with it.
    The only way around i can suggest is to have the following desc either starting with numbers or with alphabets:
    1. Zone manager
    2. Area manager
    3. Region manager
    4. District manager
    OR
    a. Zone manager
    b. Area manager
    c. Region manager
    d. District manager

  • How do I hide the Navigation Pane by default in a programmable way?

    Hi guys,
    I am looking for a way to make a PDF file not showing navigation pane when it is opened, in a programmable way.
    I have referred to the PDF references, and found a ViewerPreferences dictionary which can control the viewer appearance, and there is a entry
    Key
    Type
    Value
    HideWindowUI
    boolean
    (Optional) A flag specifying whether to hide user interface elements in
    the document’s window (such as scroll bars and navigation controls),
    leaving only the document’s contents displayed. Default value: false.
    But after I specified the HideWindowUI with true, the navigation pane is still showing up with the bookmark expanded.
    I know there is a way by specifying the opening parameter with "navpanes=0" with command line or change the windows registry. But I can't do this because I can't ask every of my customers do this way.
    Could someone provide suggestions or insights on that?
    Thanks!

    Hi Rave,
    I have ever seen this method before, but it can't address my problem. I can't ask my customers to change their registry, cause I even don't know who they are...
    What I can control is just the content of the PDF file.
    Thanks anyway!

  • Word 2011 for Mac: Advanced question regarding the navigation pane--aka sidebar

    Hi everyone--
    I'm a new Mac owner, with a Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, with 8GB RAM, 256GB storage. I'm operating on the latest OS (Maverick), freshly purchased from the Apple store today (July 5, 2014).
    Can you help me figure out if there is some way, in Word 2011 for Mac, to use the navigation pane (aka Sidebar) to click and drag entire sections of the document to a new location? This was basic (advanced, but fundamental) functionality in every version of Word I've used in recent years on Windows machines, and it is the critical reason I purchased Word instead of using one of a dozen free options. My job involves managing and editing large documents--from 2500 to 90,000 words--and the navigation pane/sidebar is crucial to my sanity.
    Previously, I would open the navigation pane and it would show me the structure of my document based on the Heading types. I could click on a heading (say, a chapter title), inside the navigation pane, and drag it to a new location elsewhere in the document. So simple to rearrange the structure of large documents this way. Now, in the Word 2011 for Mac, I can call up the navigation pane (now called the "sidebar") and view the structure of the doc, but I can't actually click and drag anything in the navigation pane.
    Other than this, so far my switch to Mac has gone swimmingly. I love the machine, and am amazed at how much cleaner and easier it is to set up than Windows machines. I'm so frustrated that I even have to interface with Microsoft any more, but this one piece of functionality is critical to me. 
    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
    Heather

    Dear Heather,
    I don't know the specific answer to your question.
    But as a new Mac owner, you should make sure that you are using the very latest version of Word 2011 for Mac.
    My recommendation, if you haven't already done this, is to open Word and do Help > Check for Updates from Word's menu, and install any updates Microsoft has released.
    They typically issue updates once or twice a month.
    Enjoy your Mac!

  • Controlling the Navigation Pane from Topic links

    I've followed Rick Stone's instructions (in his Skinny on Skins tips file) for controlling the navigation pane from topic links, but I've included the reference to whtbar.js in my Master Page (as I want it to be available to all my topics) instead of in a single topic in my WebHelp output. It works fine, however, I'm experiencing a page flicker whenever I click a link which opens the TOC, Index, Glossary, etc. Does anyone know if this can be avoided?
    Thanks
    Jonathan

    Hi Willam
    No your method still works fine thanks (without any page flicker). However, it only opens and closes the navigation pane. What I've been playing around with is the idea of hiding the standard WebHelp toolbar by setting its height to zero in the .SKN and then creating my own toolbar in a Master Page that controls the navigation pane, i.e. with Home, Contents, Index, Search, and Glossary links. That way I have more control over how the toolbar looks and, for example, I can use some script to power drop-down menus, etc. I've been looking at using the Bootstrap framework.
    I seems to work okay, apart form the annoying page flicker when I use the links in my custom toolbar.
    Oh well, maybe I'm trying to push the boundaries a little too far?!
    Thanks anyway,
    Jonathan
