CHM help file and java

is there any way to open a chm help file using java (so that the help viewer starts up)? this program will probably display a chm if it's running on a windows machine and in html if not

Useing RunTime Class in Java you can opern the CHM help file using the hh.exe
The hh.exe will be present in the windows directory.
See if this helps.
Your doubts are not related directly to JNI.
Didnt I misunderstand.

How to call .chm help file in java ?

Hello everybody, at first i am sorry for my bad English. I am doing a project. It request that i have to create a help file for application. But when i create a .chm help file.

Run chm help file through java code

hello,
would you tell me how can i run a help.chm file using java code. i am trign this but no luck.
first try
Process pp=run.exec("C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/IEXPLORE.exe ./res/bobftphelp.chm" );
Second try
Process pp=run.exec(" ./res/bobftphelp.chm" );
It run fine a help.doc file but not help.chm file.
please help me
Thanka in advance
Ravi Charan

The second address given to that function, does it relate to the class that its being called from? cause i've got
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\WINDOWS\\hh.exe .\\HelpFile_9_3.chm" );where HelpFile_9_3 is in the same folder as my class, but it won't work. Can anyone help?
Also, can you search within a chm file from Java? If I get that above code working, I presume it'll open the help file to the main page. I'd like to search within that document for a word or phrase - possible?
Thanks!

How to call .chm Help File

How to call .CHM help file on click of button through the dialog? I tried using the command WinHelpCall() but unable to find the required result. Also could anyone please suggest how to I get a link/jump to the subtopics on click of help button under that module Example Under Navigator device if the help button is clicked the help file has to display Navigator Page.
Can anyone provede me a quick suggestion.
Thanks in Advance

DIAdem doesn't have a method to open .chm files because these files are Microsoft help files, rather than DIAdem specific help files. However, there is a KnowledgeBase on Microsoft's web page that may be of help. You can find this document at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=209843. I found this by doing a web search for "Programmatically open .chm". I hope this helps you.

Winhelp Help system and Java

Hello,
Of the several products we develop, one, a Java program, uses the Java Help help system (logically). The others use a standard Winhelp help system (developed in Robohelp). Our current workflow for developing a help system for the Java program is to batch convert the Winhelp RTF files into HTML files. The problem is, most of our Winhelp formatting is either dropped or incorrectly represented in the Java help file. Also, I prefer the look and feel of a Winhelp system over Java.
Is it possible for a Java program to be modified so that it supports a Winhelp help system and not a Java Help system? If so, how is this done, and where can one find information on the process?
If not, what options do we have to "pretty up" the Java output from the conversion?
Thanks!
Todd

Thanks for your response. Could you direct me to a resource that explains the steps for accomplishing this? I'll need to provide the development staff with instructions.
Thanks again!

.bat files and java program

I know that I have posted something just like this before, but I just can't get this to work. I want to have my application call a .bat file and execute it. Can anyone please supply me some code (maybe just a small program) that executes a .bat file from within the program itself. This would be very helpful. I just can't get it to work at all.

To open notepad in a windows system:
import java.io.*; // Needed for IOException
public class Notepad
public static void main(String[] args)
try
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("notepad");
catch (IOException ioExc)
System.out.println("Something has gone horribly wrong!");
Notes:
1) notepad is usually in the path system variable. You will probably have to type in the entire path to the .bat file you want to execute.
2) The .exec(programName) will block until the program is terminated.
3) You are losing any semblance of system independance by doing this.

Mystery of using CHM help files in LV

Guys,
If I have compiled help file (CHM) what can I do with it and how can I do it within a LV exe??
(a) If I place dedicated HELP buttons on the different UI's can I get LV to open the CHM at different (relevant) pages of the help file?
(b) I read something about modifying the Context Help of control (and enabling the context help to be shown in exe is another problem) and using the question mark in context help window to open again relevant page of the help file.
I cannot find a good place to start. Where are the tutorials and examples and documentation on what the options are and what's needed to be done??
Thanks.

I think you are searching for "Control Online Help", a function you find in the Programming >> Dialog&User Interface palette.

Mac Help file and OSX 10.4.5

HI all and Help if you can, please.
I was prompted by my power PC IMac G5 to upgrade the OS to 10.4.5 which I did by clicking on the link in the window. All seems fine except now I can't open any of my Mac Help topics in the Help window. The window opens as a blank. All the other Help files seem fine. I tried "Chat" with the IMac help team and after finally getting someone to come on line, he suggested I " delete the releated preference files for help", but never told me how to do that so I don't know if it will work or not. Can anyone out there give me an idea of how to get my Mac Help to work? Thanks to all.

Hi Mac User,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
Try this: FIXED: Help Viewer crashes or shows blank window

Change chm help file location in SBO

Hi,
I have a problem in SBO where the help file location for when I press F1 in SBO is using the wrong server name and I need to update it. I can see this via Top Menu > Help > Help Settings. Now I can't see where I change this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I suggest to resintall SAP B1 in your server, and do not forget to install help file. After that, repeat the step to activate the help file in the help settings.

Anymore Infromation on DI Server available besides help file and sample

Hi everyone
I just wanted to know if there is any extra documents, e-learning for the DI Server. I've already looked at all the new sdk e-learning, i don't see one for the DI-Server. I have the one sample, is there not anymore??? I also have the help file. Is there any additional documentation that can be found???
Thanks in advance

Hi Louis,
We have done the search and could also not find much, but eventually got it up and running by using the documentation and trial and error. Maybe it will help asking specific questions here rather than asking in general.
Hope it helps,

It looks like you have some problems that aren't CRMOD related.
If you have the XML you are building and can post here that would help as well.

How to incorporate .dll files and java

i have one .dll file (that .dll file was not developed by me but i know which methods are there in that .dll file) then how to incorate that one

What exactly do you mean by "how to incoporate" .dll file?
I assume you want to call native methods defined in the .dll file in a java progam.
If so, then this Java Native Interface (JNI) tutorials and code camps at http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/jni.html tells you how.
Hope this helps.

Working with .pdf files and JAVA

Hi,
does anyone have an answer to how I can find more information on .pdf files?
I would like to convert .pdf files to textfiles and/or xml files. I can not find it in the j2se Edition, and someone told me it can be found in the j2ee edition, but I can not find anything there either. Please help..
thanks,
R.

thanks for your reply. What tools do you mean? I know lots of tools for converting text to a .pdf file, but no tools for the other direction. There is an API available (commercial), that lets you work with PDF in JAVA, but i am interesting in the other possibilities.

Synchronized between Windows File and Java

Hi' could anyone help me..i have problem like this :
i have folder named javatutorial in my C:\ , i try rename that folder name into myjavatutorial and read the new name (both operation rename and read using my java program)
this is my code :
File x = new File("C:\\javatutorial");
x.renameTo(new File("C:\\myjavatutorial"));
System.out.println(x.getName());why java always print the old folder name?
if i see it in windows explorer the folder name already change. Why Java cannot synchronized between the new name and the old name? what i want java can print the new folder name...how to implement this?
i hope my question easy to understand...
thanks a lot...

public myProgram()
File x = new File("C:\\javatutorial");
x.renameTo(new File("C:\\myjavatutorial"));
File[] file = x.listFiles();
for (int i = 0; i < file.length; i++)
     System.out.println(file[i]);
if between x and C:\javatutorial have the same path, it will print :
C:\javatutorial\a
C:\javatutorial\bNo it won't because it won't compile.
This will:import java.io.File;
public class RenameEg {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
        File x = new File("C:\\javatutorial");
        x.renameTo(new File("C:\\myjavatutorial"));
        File[] file = x.listFiles();
        for (int i = 0; i < file.length; i++) {
             System.out.println(file);
}With the following outputC:\>dir javatutorial
