Custom Button to Toggle Showing/Hiding of TOC

Okay, next question -
Is there a variable that I'm not seeing/finding that enables the following use case:
I place a custom button on the slide. When the user clicks the button, the TOC is shown. When they click it again, the TOC is hidden.
Please tell me this exists! : )
I am aware that the skins have a show/hide button and it works as I want my custom button to work, but it does not fit into the UI I have setup.

Hallo Michael,
I am deeply grateful for this widget.
I'm trying to insert a command to stop the timeline when the user clicks the TOC button.
In this regard, I researched AS3 code on your site but can not find reference
you may kindly show AS3 code of this widget on this forum or on your website?
Thank you very much!!

Flash buttons not showing/hiding layers in Firefox

Before anyone says to use the search tool, I did that, even googled the problem and no suggestions have yet to work. here is the page http://www.preziosidevelopment.com/dchs/dchs.html it works flawlessly in internet explorer, but fails to work at all in firefox. All the buttons being nested inside table cells is another byproduct of having to design for firefox, if there is a better way of setting those up so they display properly in firefox feel free to let me know. I'm a designer not a coder, so please keep that in mind. Just to clarify, the only problem I am currently having is the first two buttons are not showing/hiding my layers in firefox as they do in internet explorer. Thanks for any help.

I'm a designer not a coder, so please keep that in mind.
Here's a sincere suggestion. Do not use Flash buttons for anything. Really. People who don't have Flash will not see the buttons or be able to trigger anything. Search engines will not see any links that may be embedded in those buttons nor will assistive screen devices. As a result of these as well as other maintenance problems that would affect *you* when you try to maintain them, Adobe has removed them entirely from CS4 (and I say good riddance). Is it possible for you to rethink this entire approach using CSS styled text or ordinary graphic buttons?

Custom Buttons in FlashPro/TOC Collapser

Hello all.
My project is a native RH 6 project (it was not imported from
anything else), generated as FlashHelp Pro. I have two questions:
1) is there a way to add a custom button and place it next to
the other three at the top? I've gotten several requests for a
"Home" button. Keep in mind I'm in FlashHelp Pro here. Yes, I know
you can accomplish similar results with a Header Template &
apply it to all the topics, but I wish to spare you the entire
explanation of why that can't work all the time (you're going to
have to trust me here). I'd prefer to know whether a custom button
can be made or not.
2) Is there a way of easily collapsing a TOC (I was thinking
of maybe...a button click?) that has all it's books open and has
become 37 meters high because of it? This is also a popular
request. I'd like to retain the "Show Navigation Links in Topics"
option if possible. So essentially, I want my cake and eat it too.
Thanks in advance!

Hi hpankin
Question here. Are you publishing your FlashHelp Pro output
to RoboHelp Server? If not, the point of creating FlashHelp Pro
output is moot.
To create a button requires Flash programming skills. A rare
breed that is. Someone that understands both Flash and RoboHelp
skins. Good luck with that. I'm not there. I WANNA be really bad,
but unfortunately haven't yet figured out how to cram 72 hours in a
day.
As for resetting the TOC, you should be able to construct a
link that simply reloads the FlashHelp system. Once you do this,
the TOC should start life anew.
Cheers... Rick

TOC Auto-Sync and Custom Buttons

I have two CHM files.
One contains English content, the other has French content. We're okay with having to change Windows display language to French in order to see the localized interface. It would be great to force it to French without having to do that, but it's better than nothing.
I have a handy dandy little javascript in my master page to flip between topics in the two CHM files. This is where my problems begin.
My flipping back and forth works great but the TOC does not auto-sync despite me having that checkbox enabled on the windows in both projects.
Then I added a Custom Button in each project (let's call it Cat in English and Chat in French) that points to a Redirect Topic (using the meta refresh method) to launch a Remote Topic. The redirection works great but again, the TOC does not auto-sync.
Getting back to my English/French setup... let's say I'm in the English project CHM, I change my display language to French, all of the interface buttons change to French except my Custom Button which is still "Cat". From what I've read, I'm guessing there's no way around this? I'd rather not have to put "Cat/Chat" for the Custom Button text or leave it as is where it will stick out like a sore thumb unless my display language always matches my language content.
Any suggestions or am I stuck with what I have?

You have two different CHM files, right? One in English and one in French.
Correct... one English, one French.
Yay! I understood!
I'm assuming your JavaScript allows displaying the matching topic from the other language? If so, isn't the matching topic simply replacing the topic that was there before? Here's where it gets real fuzzy. The TOC should already be synced to the topic. Are you saying it loses focus or something?
My javascript determines the matching topic from the other CHM and changes the window location to the other topic. If I'm in the English help, on an English topic and click my French link, the link opens the corresponding French topic but my TOC never changes to the French TOC - it's still showing the English one.
Okay, so that's not really a synchronization issue. In my view, synchronization means expanding and highlighting the page in the TOC so the user may see where they were.
If there are two projects, one in English and one in French, each project would have its own Custom Button definition, right? So why not enter Chat in the French project?
I would have Chat in the French project for the Custom Button... the confusion would be if I open the French CHM while my Windows display language is English or change my Windows display language to French and open the English CHM. In those scenarios, the interface buttons will be correct but the Custom Button text will match the content language rather than the interface language - that's when it will look wrong.
Gotcha.
Personally, assuming I'm correctly understanding this setup, I would think you are somewhat asking for trouble if you allow a click within a topic to change the language. I would think it to be a better solution just to keep the user inside the same help file. Choose the language at the beginning if you like, but remain in that language until the file is closed.
Ah, but the end users want on-the-fly translation by topic without having to open the other CHM and find the topic all over again. This is CSH, so the user may very well have gotten directly to a topic and would like to see the other language immediately. Essentially, it should be as though the user closed the current CHM, opened the other CHM and located the exact same topic - instantaneously
I'm thinking that perhaps a possible answer would involve using an HTML Help Shortcut control to launch a new instance of the viewer. Open the CHM for the correct language and display the relevant topic. What I think you will have issues with here is that the CHM viewer adapts to the language of the operating system I believe. So I'm not sure the TOC will know how to dynamically interpret you want French or English. Maybe it will based on the language choice in RoboHelp. But I'd be surprised if it worked that way.
Hopefully Pete Lees will see this thread and pop in to offer some other insight.
Pffft Pffft tap tap tap... is this thing on? Earth to Pete. Calling Pete. Pete, are you there and monitoring this frequency? ... - - - .... ---.--

How can I get a tooltip to show up on a custom button obj on a dashboard?

I have added a ClearAll button object (to clear the filter criteria) on a dashboard that I am working on, and have added some text in the comments section of the properties. I can see the resulting tooltip when I hover over the button in the Client Side IR studio tool; however, when I upload the .bqy to the server and view the report in the web EPM version, the tooltip does not show. I can see the other tooltips for the buttons that were originally on the dashboard template I used, but I cannot see the one for the custom button I added. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get this to show up?
Thanks in advance,
Cindy

I copied an existing clear filter object (I believe this is an image object, but not sure how to confirm) from the provided square tab sample template in Express Template.bqy. After your post, I took a second look at the object and remembered I had changed the name from picClearAll to ClearAll. I had changed the name because the button was continually disabled when navigating within the dashboard before I renamed it. I am assuming this is because the object picClearAll in the provided templates is associated with results filters. I do not have any results filters, so it was showing as disabled. I have filters on the query itself, and was hoping to use this same image on my button to clear the query filters (I put java scripting behind the button to do this).
Another interesting thing about this is that when I change the name of the object back to picClearAll, and during runtime force the button to be enabled, I DO see the tooltip I am trying to get to work; however, as soon as I navigate or refresh the dashboard in some way, the button goes back to disabled.
How can I get the button to be enabled (without having filters on my results), and still show my tooltip?
I am using Hyperion version 11.1.1.3.0.956.
Thank you for your help,
Cindy

How to control custom button display or hide in toolbar

I had been added four buttons in Acrobat Tool bar.
Now I find a function AVToolButtonSetComputeEnabledProc in SDK that this function only control the button enable or disenable.
Now I want to control the custom button display or hide, how can I to do?
Does this SDK have a API to achieve my need?

As of Acrobat X, we no longer support dynamic hiding/showing – only enable/disable.

Customized buttons

I created new customized buttons in RoboHelp. I want all the
buttons to have a rollover state. Although each button is
programmed exactly the same, some buttons do not maintain their
rollover state. HELP!!

Hi again
Sorry, but the nature of these beasties is that the state is
not retained. This is because with the normal
TOC/Index/Search/Glossary buttons, the state is retained to show
what is currently visible in the navigation pane. For custom
buttons, all you will ever see is the rollover state. This is
because once you click, the navigation pane doesn't normally
change. The buttons only evoke an action, such as loading a topic
or opening a URL.
Sorry, I'm unaware of a way to alter the code to make the
state persist. Maybe someone super good at JavaScript will jump in
here and enlighten all of us.
Cheers... Rick

How can I create a custom button for opening a form?

I have a parent form having child forms. In my main form I want to create custom buttons for opening child forms. I want to use master-detail form but there are more than one child forms, and in master-detail form I can only create one detail form. So I will create a form based on a table and in that form I will call the child forms by custom buttons. Can I do that?
Thanx,
Gulsah.

This can be easily done. First open up two instances of your Portal. In one window, you will need to go into your component you wish to link FROM. In the other window you will need to go into your component you wish to link TO. In the component you wish to link TO there will be a moduleid. Note this somewhere. Then, you will see an area that says: "Call Interface: Show". Click on this. (In the window you are linking to.). In this window, you will see a bunch of stuff. At the bottom you will see a URL call. This is the call you need to use. At the top, it explains each piece of the URL call. Just subsitute YOUR appropriate information into the URL call. In the form you wish to link FROM, create a button. Once you create this button, it will appear at the bottom, click on it and you will see an area to insert a Javascript. Click the onClick and insert:
//this is the variable you want to pass from one form to the other
get_field_name = getField(this.form,'COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE');
//this is so you can open the "child" form
window.open('/pls/cc_prod/DAD_NAME.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=MOD_ID_HERE&p_arg_names=_sessionid&p_arg_values=&p_arg_names=COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE&p_arg values='+GETFIELD_NAME+'&p_arg_names=_COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE_cond&p_arg_values=%3D');
In the fourth tab, where it says, "....before displaying form" insert the following: (This will tell the form how to handle the getField function.)
htp.p('<script language="JavaScript1.3">
< !--
function getField(form,fieldName)
var objName = "";
var tmp = "";
var dAction = "";
var sel_idx = 0;
var cnt = 0;
var instance = 0;
var slicedName;
var fillData = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < form.length; i++)
slicedName = form.elements.name.split(".");
tmp = slicedName[2];
instance = parseInt(slicedName[3],10);
if (!tmp)
continue;
objName = tmp;
if (objName == fieldName)
return form.elements[i].value;
//-->
</script>');
I hope this helps.

Add Alt Attribute Info to a Custom Button

I have created an alternative to editing the
“whtbar.js” file to give an image alt attribute
information. We have a custom button in our help file that needed
alt information, but we had already incorporated the text into the
button’s image and did not want to add the text label. We
also did not like the visual border treatment that adding a text
label did to the button.
I wrote this JavaScript function that will not only
accomplish this, but it will also capture the functionality that
RoboHelp creates for the OnClick event handler and duplicates it in
an OnKeyPress event handler for that same button. I have
successfully tested this script in both IE (IE 6.0) and Mozilla
(Firefox 1.5), and it appears to work fine.

The OP probably tried to attach it to their post, but it was stripped by the forum software. Hopefully they can show a screenshot image (using the camera icon in the web interface) to display the coding.

Toolbar button/hotkey for "show cover page in two page view" in Acrobat X?

In Acrobat X, how about make a toolbar button/hotkey for "show cover page in two page view"? I find toggling this option to be useful for changing up the order of adjacent pages in magazines/books in which a two page spread has to match for a full large picture. Due to frequent toggling, I would like a button/hotkey for this for easier access.

Hotkeys for existing menu items are not modifiable, but you can add a scripted button which toggles it with the following code:
if (layout.substr(-5)=="Right") layout = layout.replace("Right","Left");
else layout = layout.replace("Left","Right");
For info on how to add a button with a folder-level script, see the Acrobat SDK documentation. Scripted buttons will appear in a new panel on the tools pane in Acrobat X, not on the tool bar.

Is there a command to Submit a form from a custom button?

I am going to add a custom button to allow the user to click on the button to Print the form. I have found the example code of how to do this.
My question is as follows:
Is there a command I can add to a custom button to Submit the form after it prints?
I want the submit to be automatic after they print using my custom "Print" button on the form.
Thanks so much,
Susan

Here is who you would do this :
1) Import your PDF in FormsCentral
2) Save the Submission Enabled Form from the Distribute Tab
3) Open the PDF in Acrobat XI
4) File > Save a Copy...
5) Open the copy in Acrobat XI
6) Tools > Forms > Edit
7) Find the Submit button on the form right click on it to show the properties dialog
8) Go to the Actions Tab
9) Select "Run a Javascript" and click on the "Edit" button
10) Add the this.print() javascript line to the button's javascript
11) Close the dialog with "OK"
12) Close the property dialog with "Close"
13) Click on "Close For Editing" (top right corner in Acrobat XI)
14) File > Save as Other... > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)...
15) Test your form (make sure it submits to FormsCentral without errors)
Hope this helps

Cant use Export to Excel functionality for ALV if I add a custom button

Hi,
I have added a custom button the the ALV toolbar by creating a GUI status and using the USER_COMMAND event. However. Now I dont the get the standard ALV toolbar with all the options for sorting, exporting to excel etc.
Can someone show me how I can do both, add my own button to the toolbar as well as use ALV Grid toolbar. Currently the ALV grid standard toolbar has disappeared
Thanks for reading

Hello,
I am not sure how you are creating your ALV report. If you are using FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY there is a parameter callled I_CALLBACK_PF_STATUS . Read the documentation for this field from the doc for the FM. It tells you to copy a standard PF status from fucn group SLVC_FULLSCREEN and then add your new button to that staus.
If you are using class CL_SALV_MODEL_BASE there is a method called set_screen_status that lets you do a similar thing - copy an existing PF status and add your button.
Hope that helps

Adding a custom button to the Builtin Button Group of an MVToolbar object.

I suspect this is not possible, however, I would like to add a custom button to the built-in button group of an MVToolBar object. I have attempted to do this with the following code:
// Create an array of the built-in buttons I require
var toolArry = new Array();
toolArry.push(MVToolBar.BUILTIN_CIRCLE);
toolArry.push(MVToolBar.BUILTIN_RECTANGLE);
toolArry.push(MVToolBar.BUILTIN_REDLINE);
// Create the MVToolBar object using the array items created above
createLocToolBar = new MVToolBar("createLocShapes",toolArry,MVToolBar.HORIZONTAL);
// Add the Toolbar to the map view object
mapview.addToolBar(createLocToolBar);
// Create the required custom button
createLineBtn = new MVToolButton("createLine",MVToolButton.TOGGLE,"/i/blue_arrow_down.gif","/i/blue_arrow_up.gif");
// Attempt to add the custom button to the built-in toolbar
createLocToolBar.getBuiltInButtonGroup().add(createLineBtn);
Upon running the above script, the built-in buttons I've defined in the array are displayed as expected, but the custom button does not appear (no errors are displayed either).
If I comment out the above line and instead include the line below, the custom button is displayed, but of course this is not part of the built-in group.
createLocToolBar.addButton(createLineBtn);
Any assistance greatly appreciated,
JR

Thanks for the reply, Michael. I understand that the Login.jsp needs to be modified and redeployed, but the question is how to create a new button with the same look and feel as the Login button. Currently we have modified the Login.jsp with a "Forgot Password" html link, but it would be prefered to create a button to match what already exists. I understand that this might be outside the scope of this forum, but I was hoping that someone that has done this (specifically the original poster if he found a solution) could share the relevent code.
