Crash on search function for HTML Help file (.chm) when connected to a Visual C++ application

Crash on search function for HTML Help file (.chm) when
connected to a Visual C++ application
I use the RH_ShowHelp API command to connect a HTML Help file
(.chm file generated by RoboHelp Word X 5) to my Visual C++
application. My application is able to call up this HTML help file
in context-sensitive mode and everything is working great in the
Contents and Index panels EXCEPT when I click on List Topics (after
I enter a KEYWORD for search) in the Search panel.
I got an error that said “Unhandled exception in
xxxx.exe.(HHCTRL.OCX):0xC00000FD: Stack overflow”
I am able to execute this .chm file by itself and the search
function works well in this case. I am using HHActiveX.dll that is
created on 2/23/04. Is this the correct version?? Any advice what
to do here??

Hi agschin and welcome to the RH forums. The hhactivex.dll
file is not used by the search function so you can rule that our.
Have you tried recompiling and seeing if the problem still happens?
You can also start the Bug Hunter feature in RH - View > Output
View and then select the Bug Hunter button - and see if that throws
up any clues.

  • Hide hover text for HTML help file images???

    When I build HTML help, hovering over the image shows the
    graphic's name. Can this be hidden?

    Hi Molly0602 and welcome to our community
    Hmmm, not sure about using RoboHelp for Word to do this. Out
    of curiosity, why are you using RoboHelp for Word to create HTML
    based output? Why not switch to RoboHelp HTML? I don't believe this
    is an issue in that environment.
    Just a thought... Rick

  • Output File for HTML Help

    I have created an HTML-based Help in RoboHelp. The output file was a *.chm file. The development team is indicating that the *chm file is not what is needed, and that they need an *.htm point/base file to integrate the Help into a web-based application. Is this correct? I thought that was a requirement for Web Help, but not for HTML Help. When integrating an HTML-based Help into a web app, is the individual *chm file the only file that needs to be handed off to development?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi there
    The .CHM file format is for locally installed applications. WebHelp and FlashHelp are intended for being placed on a central server and accessed from there. WebHelp and FlashHelp exist as a collection of loose files.
    You would likely benefit from viewing fellow Adobe Community Professional Peter Grainge's WebHelp articles.

  • HTML help file showing garbage value for french language

    I want to show Help/Tips in my Java application.
    The required help file is simple an HTML file which I am showing on a JPopupMenu using JHelpContentViewer editor.The problem is when I want to show this in Fench language a particular character is displaying garbage value.
    But I open the same HTML help file in a browser (i.e internet explorer..) its showing me the correct value..
    I am using VM1.4.2 and operating system is Win2000.

    Did you specify the correct encoding?

  • How do I tell the installer to put my html help files in the helpdir symbolic location?

    I used the File>>Print function to create an HTML help file for my application and specified in the VI Properties for the app to use <helpdir>:\ApplicationHelp.HTML as the Help Path. This should pop up the help file when a user selects "Help for This VI" from my custom menu. It works from my development directory because I installed the help files into the help directory manually, but I can't figure out how the get the installer to put the files in the correct location on the target system.  I tried putting them in [LabVIEW 2010 Help] in the Destination View for the Source Files category, but that didn't work.  Anyone know the right way to do this?

    Hey MrSmith, 
    In LabVIEW 2010 SP1, if open the Project and right click My Computer, you can add the help file as a source. After you have added this file, you can then create an installer. Under the Destination header, you can add your desired destination path. After you have done that, you can go to the Source Files header and add the help file to that destination you created. 
    Hope this helps. Good luck with your application!
    ~kgarrett
    Thank you for the reply! I had already done the steps you suggested, so let me put up some screen shots that should help you understand my issue better. First, I specified the path to the help information on the Documentation screen of the applications Properties:
    Next I had added all the help files (DetectorFT.html and all the .png files) to the source in a virtual folder I named Resources.
    Next, for the release build I specified the files to be Always Included on the Source Files header.
    Next I created a Resource Directory as a destination for the release build.
    Then I specified the Resource directory as the destination for the files for the Release build.
    After creating the Release build, I created an Installer build and told it on the SOurce Files screen to put the help files into the [LabVIEW 2010 Help] directory.
    I had assumed that putting the files in the [LabVIEW 2010 Help] destination would put them into the correct directory when the installer ran.  When I ran the installer on the target system, the ran the application I tried to select the "Help for This VI" tab on the menu, but it was grayed out indicating it could not find the file in the proper location.  So the question I have is, what IS the proper location for the files to be installed to so the the application will find the Help files when it is looking for them at the <helpdir> Symbolic Path location? Thanks again!

  • RH Server 7 Necessary for HTML Help on Server?

    Hello,
    I'm currently evaluating RH Server 7. The reports, etc.,
    could be useful, but my real need is to be able to
    publish/republish my HTML help files to the server in support of a
    .NET web app; that is, repost files ongoing with updates, as
    needed. Can I do this with just RH 7 (simple updates to the "live"
    content), or is RHS7 required, does anyone know or is anyone
    already doing this (perhaps with RH 5 or 6)?
    Thanks.
    Carl

    Hi, RollBarBound.
    >So I can publish WebHelp or WebHelp Pro for server-based
    applications without Server 7?
    Good question
    One part yes, one part no! Some clarification is needed.
    The word "server" is getting mangled here because you're
    talking about the RoboHelp Server 7 on the one hand and
    "server-based applications" on the other. Let's see if I can sort
    it out.
    It sounds like WebHelp would be the most appropriate in your
    situation (without the RoboHelp Server). You would use WebHelp Pro
    *only* if you were publishing directly to RoboHelp Server 7. That
    said, you can also have that same WebHelp Pro project provide help
    to any server-based application.
    Hope this helps.

  • Main window size for HTML Help

    Hello again
    I have looked at the archives and despite thinking I had seen
    this particular issue covered before, I could not find anything. I
    generate a HTML Help File with RoboHelp for Word x5.0.1 and would
    like to set the default window size as at the moment my Help File
    opens in a rather small window. Also if a user maximises the
    window, closes the Help File and re-opens it, it still opens in the
    small windows, i.e. the size settings were not save upon closing
    the file.
    Can anybody help? I reckon there must be some place (I
    noticed the existence of the Edit > Windows menu but it only
    seems to apply to WinHelp) I can set this up.
    Thank you.
    Regards,

    In Project Manager, double click Windows and then the window
    you use. There should be fields for setting the size. If not, check
    that HTML is your primary output and then create a new window, then
    you should see the fields.

  • Customize window size  for HTML Help?

    My .CHM file opens up in a ridiculously tiny window, and I
    can't seem to change that from within Robohelp. I saw some
    information on Rick Steve's site about customizing window sizes for
    Webhelp and Flashhelp. I'm hoping there's a similar technique
    available for HTML help.
    Thanks!

  • N73 - trouble with search function for the contact...

    Hi, i just bought a N73 series phone. i noticed that N73 search function for the contact list is different from others standard. Normally, it should show the 1st contact of the 1st letter that i pressed instead of the contact contains the letter. I found difficulties to look for the contact unless i press 3 or 4 letters. is there any setting can be changed to order search function only search the contacts with the 1st letter that i pressed instead of the letter in middle of the contact?
    For example:
    ang on
    office
    when i pressed "o", the contact will search for "ang on" instead of "office" unless i press few more letters like "off".
    hope to get some help from you guys.

    I found the same problem as this with all my S60 3rd edition phones, what I have done is in my contacts put a hyphen (-)in between the name - i.e Joe Blogs would come us under searches for J & B, so try putting Joe-Bloggs, this way, the search will only come up with all the J's in your phone book directory.
    Hope this helps, DLJ

  • Cannot execute Microsoft HTML Help file from within Eclipse managed app.

    I took an easy solution and created a help system for a large Java application using the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop as the IDE. The Help System does exactly what the client wants, but when I tried to integrate it into the application I ran into a brick wall.
    I wrote a very small Java app to see if I could execute the compiled help file (RAS_Help.chm) under the simplest circumstances. The code, which runs fine under VJ++ throws the following exception when run from Eclipse
    e: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: RAS_Help.chm error=193

                   System.err.println("e: " + e);
         public static void main(String args[]) {
              showHelp();
    I assume the problem is in launching .chm files, since if I change the program I want to execute from the RAS_Help.chm file to the Windows Solitare game (sol.exe) the program works like a charm with no errors thrown.
    Can anyone give me some guidence on this? If it is impossible to run the HTML Help file I created, I'd be ammenable to redoing it in some other package, if that would guarentee my being able to use it in the client's large application.

  • Open an HTML Help file

    I'm trying to open an html help file from my program. The source file where I call it is in the package A in the JAR, ant the HTML file is in package HTML in the JAR; so that I do:
    Runtime.getRuntime ().exec ("cmd /c start HTML/Help.html");
    But it doesn't find the file. Any idea?

    If it's in your JAR, you can't directly use a system call to open it. You have to extract it from the JAR and save it to disk unpacked, at least temporarily. Otherwise, you use an All-Java HTML viewer that can cope with an InputStream source (however, hyperlinks won't work in this case). For this reason, I would suggest not to include the HTML files into the JAR at all but deliver it along with the JAR.

  • Customize Workspace HTML help files

    Hi, is there a way to edit / add to the html help files available to workspace users?
    Thanks

    Where adobe Photoshop help is installed depends on the version. It is also not HTML based I beleive its Adobe Air based.
    For example CS2 help is started with  "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help Center\ahc.exe"
    and CS5 Help "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help\Adobe Help.exe"
    Therfore create a folder for Photoshop help and unzip the zipped Photoshop CS5 help HTML files you say you found into that folder. There will be a root html page file in that folder likely named index.html which you need to point a browser to in order to navagate between the html pages..
    So since you have CS5 perhaps if you create a bat to start a browser pointed to your html help where the bat file name is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help\Adobe Help.exe"  instead of .bat  F1 in CS5 may work.
    You could also try editin your Photoshop shortcut keys delete Photoshop shortcut key F1 from the help menu. After deleteing that shortcut. Create a help.jxs to open your Photoshop Help files index.html file. Then create a action that uses this photoshop script help.jsx and asign F1 to the action. 
    The help.jsx script would be along this line
    // A Photoshop Script by JJMack's used by an Action
    // This script is supplied as is. It is provided as freeware.
    // The author accepts no liability for any problems arising from its use.
    #target photoshop
    app.bringToFront();
    try{
       var URL = new File(Folder.temp + "/PhotoshopHelpt.html");
       URL.open("w");
       URL.writeln('<html><HEAD><meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=file:///C:/HelpPath/Index.htm"></HEAD></HTML>');
       URL.close();
       URL.execute();
    }catch(e){
    alert("Error, Can Not Open.");

  • HTML help files.

    Is there any good way to control HTML help files from LabView (*.chm)

    Hello,
    Without the original compiler and project files it is not possible. I have been writing all types of help files mostly in CHM, without the project file and the compiler you simple can not. The actual compiler is critical as third party compilers will inject
    their own stuff into project files that the native compiler from Microsoft will not understand.
    Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help, this will help others who are looking for solutions to the same or similar problem.

  • Search function for Product description in shopping cart

    Hi,
    We are using SRM 5.5 version. We have a problem when we are searching the Product with the Product description.
    Shop -> Create Shopping Cart -> Internal Goods/Services
    Enter a pattern between the stars such as
    *cap*
    and then Click Start.
    System is not restricting the search output with the pattern
    *cap*
    . Instead it is displaying all the Products and search is not getting restricted by the search function.
    When I was searching for an OSS note to fix this issue, i found the note(1322462) to fix a similar issue with the Product ID.
    Do we have any SAP note to fix the issue with the Product Description? Please guide me.
    With regards

    Hi Muthu,
    Current service pack  is SP 13(SAPKIBKT13).
    I believe this SAP note 1322462 can resolve the issue with search function for the "Product ID". I will implement this note and let you know the result.
    Do we have any SAP note to solve the issue with the search function for "Product Description"?
