Create popup help/information

Is it possible to create feature that when I rest the mouse curser on a certain area on the front panel (while executing) a pre-set help/information will be shown similar to what the windows explorer (it shows the file information when mouse is rested on top of that file)?

Yes, it's possible, but in a different way.
First off, place the picture you need on the front panel (for example, above a control), where do you want it to pop up. Then, create a property node with the "visible" property.
Then, place an event structure on the block diagram, and handle the "mouse entered" and "mouse exited" events to toggle the property.
Hope this helps!

Creating Popup Help Text

Hello All.
I've created an HTML Text region containing a List of hypertext links. What I am trying to do is to have a text message appear below the region whenever a user hovers over a given link. This message will explain something about the link.
I created a "HELP Region" in which I wrote some help text specific to a given link. But I don't know how to get this text to appear only when a user hovers over a specific link. This help text should appear BELOW the region containing the list of links.
Is there any way to do this?
Should I be using Javascript? If so, does anyone have an example they can show me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Ok in response to your questions:
1) In my APEX regions, where exactly do I place this
javascript. I'm new to using APEX, and so, I'm not
sure where it goes.The best way to do this would be to put the javascript functions into a separate file eg showHide.js.
You can then import this into your application by adding it to the top of your template using HTML. This means you don't have to add it for every page, and it will also only be imported once per session, when user first enters the application. For the onMouseOver and onMouseOut bits, they need to be added to the "HTML Form Element Attributes" in the "Element" section of the page item you want the region to use to make the region appear.
2) Do you think there is a way to toggle the actual
language used in my text messages that I will be
showing/hiding? In other words, is there some sort
of
language like options in javascript that allow for
display of different languages such as Arabic or
German?ApEx does have language translation, but I believe this is only for things such as titles, and headers etc, not for free text. With regards to "toggling" a language, you could create mulitple regions with each language, and then display them conditionally based on the language settings of the browser?
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful on the last question, but let me know how you get on. Let me know if you have any further questions.
All the best,
Cj

Create a popup help window with javahelp

hi:
As the title states, I want to create a popup help window. I know there is
a short hand, which uses "DisplayHelpFromSource(helpset)" as an action event. Then add this event to listener. I don't use this way, since
I need to reserve the structure below (which implements actionListener interface). Any idea?
* When user click the "help" button, "createHelpViewer" will create
* a user help window & popup.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        try {
            MainFrame.getReference().createHelpViewer(javaHelpFrame);
        catch (GeneralException ex) {
            ErrorHandler.errDialog(ex.getDescription(), CommonUtil
                    .getActionName(this), ex);
     * Create java help viewer
    public void createHelpViewer(JInternalFrame javaHelpFrame) throws GeneralException {
        if (javaHelpFrame != null) {
            return;
        String mainHSName = "gui/files/jhelpset.hs";
        HelpSet mainHS = null;
        // Create helpset
        try {
            ClassLoader cl = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
            URL hsURL = CommonUtil.getResourceURL(mainHSName);
            mainHS = new HelpSet(cl, hsURL);
        catch (Exception ex) {
            throw new GeneralException(
                    "Help Set " + mainHSName + " not found",
                    ex);
        // Display javahelp
        // How to display the javahelp?
    }

Here is a sample of a pop-up window that I did...
I created a small gallery of some of my Edge animations..
Use the left and right arrow on your keyboard to navigate through images...
Click on the image you want to view...
A large window pops up and you can view the animation...
Click on the X to close the pop up

Help on Help - is there any way to code "\n" on help information

I'd like to be able to format the help information by adding newlines as well as forcing it to appear at a certain column
I'd like to put a "\n" in my help; is there any way to do so?
I also notice that when you have multiple dictionaries in 1 AFC, the help information is pre-determined based off of some criteria, and some dictionaries have their help aligned on 1 column, while another dictionary has their help aligned on another. This looks very unsightly to a user who doesn't 'see' the different dictionaries. How can we intentionally adjust these help margins?
And is there a way to play with the margins for the prompts as well? some of my labels are very long and when they wrap, especially if I've used &nbsp, the first line is indented, but all subsequent lines go back to the same margin and it looks quite bad.

I haven't found a way to make the help text from different dictionaries line up. One workaround is to set the field display width the same for the fields in both dictionaries. The help is lined up with the longest field in each dictionary. As for the new line in the help text, the help text is HTML, so a break tag "
" will create a new line. You can put any valid HTML in the help text and it will be rendered.

Missing help information?

I find that some labview objects do not link to any description or help information. For instance, when I drop a control, say the "file path control" from the "string & path" palette onto the front panel of a vi, there is "no description" available in the context help panel, there is no "help" option on the associated drop down menu, and there appears to be no corresponding entry in the labview help documentation when searching for "file path control". This seems to be true for most, but not all of the front panel controls. It is also fairly common to have difficulty finding results on search terms entered into the "search the labview help" dialogue. Very often I find quoted help entries on the labview web site that I can't locate on my machine. For instance, I spent a very long time searching the installed help documentation trying to figure out how to convert between the numeric value returned by a color box constant and the actual color contained within. A quick google search returned a Knowledge Base entry on your website titled "How Does a LabVIEW Color Box Interpret a Numeric Value for Color?" This entry quotes help documentation from a Labview product manual that explains how the color box constant is encoded. I realize that the entry on my machine may not be exactly the same as the entry quoted from your published manual, but darned if I can find anything that gives the slightest hint in my installed help documents. Is there something wrong with my labview installation?
global variables make robots angry

Sorry, I wasn't very clear in my first post. When I place a pre-written function on the block diagram, a handy description pops up in the help panel, a detailed description is available in the labview help documentation and it has a nice help option on its drop down menu that I can click on for info. The controls that I select for the front panel are, of course, pre-written functions as well. That is to say; they were created by someone other than me and they do things in a specific fashion that might not be totally apparent (to a dummy like me). Because the drag and drop interface for building the block diagram is similar to the drag and drop interface for building the front panel, it instinctively feels like there should be some sort of description there of the control functions that come with labview, just like the descriptions of the block diagram functions that come with labview. I think what I was looking for might be the help button that I've managed to find by right clicking on the control object, then selecting properties from the drop down, then looking in the lower right hand corner of the properties section. Funny thing is, I read the path properties entry from the file path control that I dropped on the front panel, and I still can't figure out how the control selects the default search folder if it isn't specified, and I'm still not sure whether I can somehow programmatically set the default folder for all "file path controls" on the front panel at once. I'm still searching for that answer in the installed documentation because I feel like I should avoid posting lots of questions to the forum unless I'm sure that the answer isn't sitting right there in the documentation somewhere, which leads me to the second example, the color box constant conversion thing.
I read that same help description that you found which is why I was so confused to find that the number I was looking at was not a hexidecimal and had a different number of bytes than the help file specified. It turns out that if you create a color box constant on the block diagram and pick a color, any color, nothing up my sleeve- then create an indicator to output that color, you'll find that the color is not a hexidecimal alphanumeric with six values and three bytes, it is instead represented by a thirty two bit integer. that's one more byte than in the help description, and the integer didn't seem to have an obivious pattern in it that would give away how to turn a red green blue, three byte number into the 32-bit integer that the color box constant shoots out. So here's the official description from national instruments that tells me what the heck is going on with the color box color to integer conversion:
"A color is represented by a 32-bit integer, with the lower three bytes representing the red, green, and blue components of the color. For a range of blue colors, create an array of 32-bit integers where only the values of the low bytes change (the low byte contains the blue component). To create a range of gray colors, you need to create an array of 32-bit integers where the red, green, and blue values of each element are the same."
so you see there are four bytes with one byte empty that you have to assemble into an integer. or decode by doing the reverse.
and the quoted description is from the LabVIEW Picture Control Toolkit Reference Manual Version 1.0. But of, course, the description of how to convert from an integer into a color and vice versa must be in the regular documentation somewhere, because it's a fairly fundamental thing. So I looked in my installed help documentation again to see if I could construct a search phrase to find it, so I would be a little wiser about how to search for specific info in the help files, but I'm just not able to locate it. And, of course if I create a color box control and go into the properties and find the properties help button for the Framed Color Box Properties Dialog Box it doesn't actually say anything about what happens between you picking a color and it shooting a number over to the block diagram, which makes me think "Ok. there is a description of this pre-made control somewhere else, and I'm just not looking in the right spot to find it, because who would give you a big ol' palette of these pre-made controls to use, and leave you wondering what the heck some of the controls are doing when you use them?"
So I was thinking that I'm not looking in the right spot for documentation, or I'm not searching in the best way, or that maybe I'm missing part of the help documentation or something.

Hi Thomas:
It worked fine the 1st time. Second time when the user clicks on the button to open up the popup it dumps.
Here is the code in the action for popup:
data: l_cmp_api type ref to if_wd_Component,
        l_window_manager type ref to if_wd_window_manager,
        l_api type ref to if_wd_View_controller,
        l_text type string_table.
l_cmp_api = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
l_window_manager = l_cmp_api->get_window_manager( ).
if wd_this->m_popup is initial.
    wd_this->m_popup = l_window_manager->create_window(
             window_name = 'DOCQSOW'
             button_kind = if_wd_window=>co_buttons_ok
             message_type = if_wd_window=>co_msg_type_none ).
           component_usage_name = 'DOCQUERY_USAGE_1'
    l_api = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
    wd_this->m_popup->subscribe_to_button_event(
          button = if_wd_window=>co_button_ok
          button_text = 'Transfer'
          action_name = 'POPUP_CLOSED'
          action_view = l_api ) .
    wd_this->m_popup->SET_REMOVE_ON_CLOSE( abap_true ).
   endif.
wd_this->m_popup->open( ).
Second time when the popup tries to open, I get the following error:
Method: RENDER_WINDOW of program CL_WDR_WINDOW_RENDERER========CP

Is there a way to destroy the instance of the m_popup?
Any help is appreciated!

Hi Friends,
I have created a table . I am using the SAPGUI version 4.6. In that i am not having a tab called Search Help as we used to have in Higher version.I have created a Search help using the Search help radio button in SE11 start screen.
I am not able to assign the search help created to the respective field in the table.
is there any ways how to assign the search help we have created to the respective field.
please help me in solving this issue.
Thanks,
Gokul

HI Gokul,
If you have created search help then it's very easy to assign that Search help to database table field.
Go To sell.
Enter your table name,
Click on Change,
Select the field for which you want to assign search help,
Then Click on Search Help Button.
Enter you search help name and its done....
If you feel this information was useful.

Create Popup or external window

Hi,
I have some code in wdDoInit() of View. Before view completely loads, I require to popup a dialog box or external window with a message.
Is this possible to create Popup or external window from the first view of the application, such that the popup appears first and then the rest of the view loads?
Presenty I do not get any popup even though I have done coding for the same and straight away the view appears.
Thanks

Hi Anagha,
First go to the Method tab of view and create two Event handlers (Ok and Cancel).
Then try this code inside wdDoInit() of view.
     String dialog = "Do You Want to Continue? ";
     IWDConfirmationDialog confDialog = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createConfirmationWindow(dialog,wdThis.wdGetAPI().getViewInfo().getViewController().findInEventHandlers("Ok"),"OK");
     IWDEventHandlerInfo CancelEventInfo = wdThis.wdGetAPI().getViewInfo().getViewController().findInEventHandlers("Cancel");
     confDialog.addChoice(CancelEventInfo,"Cancel");
     confDialog.show();

Displaying the Popup Help

It was my assumption that whatever text we attach to the comments of the database columns get associated with the help text in the popup help for all the items created when a region is based on that table.
I surely remember I saw that initially. But now its not happening. Any clue?
Thanks

Master/detail form - Detail columns lack help information

I have a master/detail form. All the fields in the master block have help information attached to assist the user when entering data. The detail block, which is more of a multi-row based block, has column headings along the top. However, no where can I insert "help" text for these particular columns. Although self explanatory, it still would be nice to be able to incorporate "help" text for these columns. Am I missing something? Can this be done? I've thought about a button on top of the region which could call an html page with help for these columns, it just seems to be a "rougher" solution than whats available to the individual fields in the master block.

Hi,
Nope, you're not missing anything - there is no Help functionality. This is probably because the Help on page items is available for "Labels", which do not exist for tabular forms, which are based on a report structure.
You would, if you wanted, update the heading to include a "tooltip":
Instead of, for example:
HiredateYou could enter:
<span title="Enter the employee's hire date">Hiredate</span>It should also be possible to mimic the popups you get for page items if that is what you need
