Creating context-sensitive HTML Help without using Map #s

I am uisng RH 8 and am producing a compiled HTML Help file.
I am wondering if there is another way to call a topic from our application without using the MAP numbers in RH.
The developer would like to use the MAP ID (string) instead.
Is there a way to do this?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Your points are valid but there are also situations when urls are an excellent method.
For some projects our developers name fields and we have a method of identifying the name applied. We use that as our filename. By that means they know what the help file will be and can create the call before the topic exists and we don't have to maintain map ids for those projects. If we should fail to create the topic, the call has the logic to go to a higher level.
I wouldn't advise using map ids or urls, I would say understand how both work, their pros and cons, and then decide what works for the project.

Create a Multiple-Line JButton Without Using HTML format

I used html format for multiple-line JButton and it took a long time to load that button up (about 5 seconds more). Does anyone know how to create a multiple-line JButton without using html?
Any suggestion or sample code will be appreciated.

Hello,
You could try using the following:
-give your button some layout (e.g.: BoxLayout.Y_AXIS, or BorderLayout).
-create the wrapped text in separate JLabels (one line in each label)
-add your labels to the button
Advantage:
this solution does not affect the laf classes
Disadvantage:
focus rectangle is not calculated accurately

Is it possible to create a DVD in iDVD without using the themes they provide?

Is it possible to create a DVD in iDVD without using the themes they provide?

Hi
No Menu DVD
from. Mishmunken
How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the auto-play box in iDVD's Map View, then set your auto-play item (your movie) to loop continuously.
Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy. If you don't want your (auto-play) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the drop-zone (text needs to be black as well).
Disadvantage. The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time. Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage. One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software. Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn.
Disadvantage. you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way". Post-production with myDVDedit (free-ware)
Tools necessary. myDVDedit ( www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned. If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager.

How do I create a webpage in Dreamweaver WITHOUT using layers?

I'm reading a lot about how we should not use layers and
tables when creating a website in Dreamweaver because of something
called "absolute placement" (or something), which is the reason the
text in my website is constantly misaligned or overlapping when
opened up in Firefox. Although, I've never had this problem before
for the past three years I've been using Dreamweaver to create my
sites, which is what's most frustrating I think.
So, I guess I'm wondering how, then, do I create a webpage in
Dreamweaver WITHOUT using layers and tables? The only thing I've
been able to do w/o layers/tables is to literally hit "enter" and
"tab" continuously until the cursor is somewhere close to where I
want it to be on the page. But that seems a little old-school (for
lack of a better term) to really be the way to do it.
Also, if I've used a lot of layers/tables already in my
website, is the general recommendation for be to rebuild my site
completely w/o layers/tables, or is it feasible for me to have
someone who knows HTML just come in and fix the actual HTML code
for me to make it all work?
Ideally, I just want something to help me fix this problem
w/o having to hire someone else to come in, cause I've been working
this site for about a year now and am just now finally getting it
up online only to find that the way it looks online is not the way
it looks in Dreamweaver. I'd really really appreciate any
suggestions/advice.
Thank you so much!

Hello,
The first bit of advice, which you may already be doing, it
to learn HTML
and CSS.
CSS is used to style and position elements.
Instead of adding numerous to add spacing, for
example, you can use
CSS to add margins or padding to elements to move them away
from other
elements.
Also, IMHO there is nothing wrong with using tables,
specially as you learn.
You can also use <divs> and CSS to position them (a
table-less layout).
There are a number of threads in this forum comparing them
and giving many
designer's views.
It's Dreamweaver's "Layout Mode" you should stay away
from.Use "Standard
Mode"
It creates tables with rowspanss and colspans that are very
fragile.
Something as simple as a user having a different text size
setting in their
browser than what you had in yours when you designed can make
the page break
apart.
More info:
http://apptools.com/rants/spans.php
Also, "Layers" are an older DW term for AP Divs (Absolutely
Positioned).
They can cause you a lot of frustration.
More info:
http://apptools.com:80/examples/pagelayout101.php
I would strongly suggest you take a couple of hours to do
these tutorials.
They are a great introduction to using CSS, making a
stylesheet and using
DW's "wizards".
They are very well written, illustrated and easy to follow.
I promise you will walk away with a different outlook on how
you can design
a page.
They are not intended to replace learning HTML or CSS in any
way, I just
think it will benefit you greatly seeing what you can do.

I hope that helps.
Take care,

Embed html file without using IFrame UI

Is there any way to embed html file without using IFrame UI?

Hi
To embed a static HTML content inside your view, Iframe is the easiest form or else, you can provide links through Linktourl UI or through a static text or a button, invoke a action and display the HTML content inside the frame or call it in a seperate (external) window.
Otherwise, we have only less options!
if you have anything specific, do let us know
thanks

I have all my pictures in an external drive, how do i create a library in iphoto without using my internal drive space?

i have all my pictures in an external drive (around 1tb), how do i create a library in iphoto without using my internal drive space? thanks!

In iPhoto use the command "File > Switch to Library" and then click "Create New" in the Library Chooser panel.
Select a folder on your external drive as the destination.
You can also get to this panel by holding down the alt/options key when you launch iPhoto.

Alv field with f4 help without using class

Hi,
Can any one give me a program of "Alv field with f4 help without using class".
Thanking you in advance.

hi
<b>Linking F4 Help to Fields</b>
For the last section, we will deal with linking F4 help to fields. It is easy. As usual, define, implement and register the event onf4 at proper places in your code. For F4 help, you must register the fields whose F4 request will trigger the onf4 event. For this you must prepare a table of type LVC_T_F4 and register this table using the method register_f4_for_fields. While preparing table you must include a line for each field which will trigger F4 event. For each field in the structure;
􀂾 Pass the fieldname to FIELDNAME
􀂾 Set REGISTER to make the field registered,
􀂾 Set GETBEFORE to provide field content transport before F4 in editable mode
􀂾 Set CHNGEAFTER to make the data changed after F4 in editable mode.
DATA: lt_f4 TYPE lvc_t_f4 WITH HEADER LINE .
lt_f4-fieldname = 'PRICE'.
lt_f4-register = 'X' .
lt_f4-getbefore = 'X' .
APPEND lt_f4 .
CALL METHOD gr_alvgrid->register_f4_for_fields
EXPORTING
it_f4 = lt_f4[] .
Preparing table for the fields to be registered to trigger F4 event
METHOD handle_on_f4 .
PERFORM f4_help USING e_fieldname es_row_no .
er_event_data->m_event_handled = 'X' .
ENDMETHOD .
A sample onf4 method implementation
Again, we set the attribute er_event_data->m_event_handled to prevent further processing of standard F4 help.

Creating Context Sensitive Webhelp Using Robohelp 9

I want to create a Context sensitive Webhelp - one help topic for one page/function for web application. I'm using Robohelp 9 with Team Foundation Server 2012. I also have MSSCCI provider installed. I will be using unique ID (Map ID) or unique window names for mapping.
Below are the details about what I have and my requirements:
I have multiple module projects in Robohelp 9 integrated with Team Foundation Server 2012. I want to merge these projects to create one tree structure which will display all the functions same as application.
Which are the files that I need to give to developer to integrate Web Help?
What are the steps for linking and generating Webhelp in merged projevct?
Can we do merging of ToC in merged project and extract the ToC (.hhc file) and use it in all modules projects just like merging chms and extracting ToC?
What is the simplest way to do create the Webhelp?
Can we use a single Robohelp project for large number of topics to avoid merging?
Please suggest as soon as possible.

First take a look at Merged Help on my site. It gives detailed information about creating merged webhelp.
Can you use a single project for a large number of topics? Define large. It's a mix of topics and graphics. My experience is Rh can, not will, get slow around 4/5000 topics with a some graphics.
You give the generated help and tell them to put ALL the files on the server.

Problems with context-sensitive HTML made from importing FM 10 to RH9

This worked in October and it doesn’t work now.
Start with a clean, well-formatted Frame 10 book with multiple chapters. Chapters, Heading 1, 2 and 3 headings have various FM Markers TopicAlias with ID for calling the help.
Example of FM marker: ID_HELP_SYSTEM_DEFAULT
Import FM book to RH 9 –pointed to an AllStyles.fm doc as a template, pagination on the above 4 headings, cross-refs mapped, on the Other Settings page the Context Sensitive Help Marker is set to TopicAlias.
Import looks spiffy; great TOC, Index, formatting, links, everything is exactly like I expected. Create chm file help. It looks great too. This part works well IMO.
My.h file is formatted with Hex number to match the application’s call.
Example:
#define ID_HELP_SYSTEM_DEFAULT 0x3F131
#define ID_HELP_EDITDATASET_TOOLBAR 0x3F132
Rename my mapping h file to BSSCDefault.h and put in root directory replacing the one RH makes. [When RoboHelp makes an h file, the numbers it assigns do not match what my application calls for. Changing these is not an option. I have hundreds of mapped IDs.]
Reopen RH and view the BSSCDefault. h file from RH. It has magically changed the Hex numbers to 6 digit numbers.
Example:
ID_HELP_SYSTEM_DEFAULT              258353      Saving Project Defaults as System Defaults
ID_HELP_EDITDATASET_TOOLBAR 258354      Editing Datasets Using the Mouse
The Mapped IDs are blue and are not locked. My FM TopicAlias Markers are all listed as Map IDs, I have Map#s for them and they point to the correct topic. The center panel shows Assign as grayed out. The project that worked in October looked just like this too, I checked.
Recomplie. Place new chm file in application. It will open from the menu item for Help, it will open from F1 but it will not open from any of the mapped Help buttons.
I uninstalled/reinstalled RH 9 and tried reimporting/compileing with an unpatched version. No change, still borked.
There has not been a change in the application; there are no new IDs in this version. I tried the new compiled help in an older version of my application and it will not work. Same behavior.
Any suggestions? Anyone else have this problem? What am i missing?

I dont use the settings file, I use a FrameMaker doc as a template. It has all my styles and I set the others before the import. There arent very many.
But, since you import from Frame, would you look at this and verify?
Looking at Map File in the Edit Map IDs dialog On the left the panel the Map ID is listed, then the Map # and finally the topic title.
Do your Topics show a notation at the end?
Example: Averaging Datasets #CSH_71
Then on the Topic panel if you find that same topic you see
Topic symbol -Averaging Datasets   [and the Topic properties show “no map ids for this topic]
Bookmark symbol -Averaging Dataset#CSH_71 [topic properties show the map id when you select it]
Bookmark symbol -Averaging Datasets#IX_averaging_datasets
Bookmark symbol-Averaging Datasets#XREF_25075_Averaging Datasets
I understand the Index and cross ref markers, but the isolated book mark is odd. You would think the notation would be on the topic
The chm file from October works in my latest build, and the developers swearz they changed NOTHING in the way it is called. I still have to talk to QM who do the builds just in case.

Creating an ajustable 3d shape (without using any plugins, Away 3D etc).

I followed this youtube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=PfR9n0eZJvs
And I created a 3D cube in flash using the 3D rotation tool and registration points. I know it isnt truely 3D it more like 2.5D.
I have the finish item and its cool but I was wondering, how would I go about using actionscript to edit the cube. I would ideally like to be able to edit the size of the cube maybe extrude it in some way. Also how could I spin it on its axis In a similar way to using the 3D rotation tool.
I dont know how to do these things without ruining the effect on the cube itself.
Im relatively new to Flash and AS3 but im trying to really emerse myself until I have really mastered it at a high level. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Fred

convert your cube to a movieclip and use its 3d properties.

F4-Help without using a table search help

Hi,
We´re using CRM 2007 and I have created several F4-Helps for different fields on the webui.
There it was always necessary to use an existing table search help in the GET_V-method:
CREATE OBJECT rv_valuehelp_descriptor
    TYPE
      cl_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr
    EXPORTING
      iv_help_id                  = lv_help_id   "search help name
      iv_help_id_kind             = if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>help_id_kind_name
      iv_input_mapping            = lt_inmap
      iv_output_mapping           = lt_outmap
      iv_trigger_submit           = abap_true.
But how can I create a f4-help without an existing search help. I have an internal table that I want to be shown like an f4-help (not as dropdown -> a dropdown-field wouldn´t be a problem).
Structure of the internal table: COML_PROD_CAT_REL_F4
Thanx for help.
Greetings,
Sven
Edited by: Sven Keller on Aug 13, 2008 4:26 PM

Hi Sven,
you already pasted the correct call for creating a value help. Now what you have to alter is the variable lv_help_id to reflect a F4-Valuehelp class.
      CREATE OBJECT rv_valuehelp_descriptor TYPE cl_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr
        EXPORTING
          iv_help_id        = '(CL_CRM_UIU_BP_IDTYPE_2_F4)' "#EC NOTEXT
          iv_help_id_kind   = if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>help_id_kind_comp
          iv_input_mapping = lt_inmap
          iv_output_mapping = lt_outmap.
As you can see CL_CRM_UIU_BP_IDTYPE_2_F4 is a normal ABAP class implementing interface IF_BSP_WD_CUSTOM_F4_CALLBACK. Please take a look at it.
It should not be very hard to implement the single method
cheers Carsten

Creating an Adobe .pdf file without using the Adobe printer

Is it possible to create a .pdf file by using Acrobat or Microsoft Word or any other program without using a printer driver? So far, when I remove the Adobe printer, I cannot create a .pdf file, as it is looking for the printer and printer driver. Is it even possible to create a .pdf without using, or having, a PDF printer of any sort? Any help on this issue would be most helpful. Thanks.

I was trying to find a way to create PDFs without using the Adobe printer, or any PDF printer. I posed this question to see if there was a way to create a PDF without the aid of a printer or not. I mean, I know how to reinstall the Adobe printer, since I had to to see if there was another way to go about creating without using the printer. I am just curious if there is a way to create a PDF file without the aid of the Adobe printer or other PDF printers.

Can I get context sensitive offline help for Adobe audition?

I've linked the CS6 Help PDF successfully to F1, but that's very clunky when you're trying to figure out an effect and the link that says "Shows help for this effect" is broken. I recall CS5 and 5.5 had context sensitive help. I know for sure Audition 3.0 does. I'm a US contractor that's forward deployed and an Internet connection is not something we can take for granted.

Charles,
Thanks for the reply. I've been to that site and have followed the instructions. What that gets you is a general help PDF document that opens when you push the F1 key. If you navigate around Audition CS6 there are various places where you'll see a small "I" in a circle. If you hover over it with your cursor, a balloon pops up saying "Get help for this..." and references the function you're in, for example an effect. If you're online and click on it, it opens the relevant web page on the Adobe support site. If you're not online, you get nothing. This is not the case in Audition 3.0 and if I recall right, 5.0 and 5.5 where you get context sensitive help for various effects and other functions stored with the program on your computer, like most programs from other vendors.
I think the basic problem is Adobe is so wedded to their "Creative Cloud" model that they're impairing their product. Aside from my own philosophical objections to cloud computing, Adobe is totally missing out on emerging markets and economies. I'm currently in Afghanistan working with locals on building the country's broadcast industry. There are a lot of talented people here that work in radio production and they all use Adobe Audition, but version 3.0 exclusively. Most can't afford CS6 and Adobe Audition CC is useless because of the pricing structure and the lack of reliable Internet. This is also true for other countries I've visited.
Sorry for the soapbox tirade, and thanks again for the reply. I think you've confirmed that the answer I'm looking for doesn't exist. If you can check and see if I'm wrong, I'd love to know that. I'm thinking of rolling back to Audition CS 5.0 or 5.5 and I'd rather not.
Regards,
Steve
