Design Time Control Shortcut Information Disappearing

I am using a visible Design Time Control Shortcut in RoboHelp
X5. It calls up a video (.swf). I type the path into the field
called "Program to run when shortcut is activated". I can save it
and build the .chm file and the video link works. But when I close
Robohelp and then open it back up, the path I typed in disappears
and the link is broken. Why is this happening?

Hi Brook21679
You are linking to a .SWF. Your use of a control seems to
indicate the .SWF will remain outside the .CHM, right? If so, you
may need to script things using JavaScript to construct your path
on the fly. I have a topic on my site that describes this. You may
view it by
clicking
here.
Otherwise, I'd simply add the .SWF to my baggage files list
and link from there.
Sincerely... Rick

  • RoboHelp 8 crashes when clicking See Also tab of Design-Time Control Properties

    My project was previously in RoboHelp 7 and is a merged project. I copied a topic with see also buttons and want to edit the links. I right click the button and select Design-Time Control [name] Properties and click the See Also tab. RoboHelp crashes every single time. Error message:
    EventType : BEX
    P1 : RoboHTML.exe
    P2 : 8.0.0.203

    P7 : 000016aa
    P8 : c0000409
    P9 : 00000000
    One thing that is a little strange is that some of the buttons have Design-Time Control [object1] Properites and some have Design-Time Control [RelatedTopic] Properties, but all have the See Also tab.
    If I insert a new See Also button using Insert > See Also, the menu choice is Design-Time Control [See Also] Properties and the tab is See Also. Click the tab and RoboHelp crashes.
    If I insert a new Related Topics button using Insert > Related Topics, the menu choice is Design-Time Control [Related Topic] Properties and the tab is called Related Topics. Click the tab and RoboHelp does not crash.
    I have a whole lot of these buttons I need to modify, so I'd appreciate if anyone knows of a solution to this problem.
    Sample HTML for an offending button:

    Hello again
    Bummer that!
    First, I'll answer something I failed to earlier. You said that sometimes it says SeeAlso and sometimes it's object1. Here's the deal on that.
    When you click Insert > See Also the first time in a topic, the control is named SeeAlso. If you copied and pasted or clicked Insert > See Also again, the first time you did that it would be object1 or OBJECT1 depending on whether you used the menu or you copied and pasted. This is because each of these must use a unique name. So is it possible that you disliked seeing object1 on some and you renamed so the second (or third) also was named SeeAlso? I could see that causing RoboHelp to gag.
    Assuming that's not it, what about topic filenames or titles? Do any of them have unusual characters in the names? Any character other than 0-9, a-z, A-Z or an underscore ( _ ) is suspect. Perhaps an odd character is tossing a monkey wrench into the works.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Design-Time seems to be read-only

    After inserting a design-time control (related topics), the
    control seems to be read-only. I cannot add and related topics to
    the control, nor can I check the properties for the control. It is
    simply an empty control. I recently received a new laptop and
    reloaded robohelp, but I'm not sure if that is problem. I don't
    think it is because earlier today I did a copy-n-paste to create a
    new file and the related topics control worked. I was able to
    remove jumps from the control as well as add jumps. However, now
    the same problem is occurring in those files as well.

    Yeah, we're in the dark ages here. Not really, we do all our
    work in xml here with the exception of tutorials & SDK help,
    which is what I'm working on. I loaded an older version of office
    and reloaded RH, but the problem is still there. I'm working on a
    deadline, but thankfully I only have a few more files that I have
    to create. I can work from my old pc and figure this problem out
    afterwards. Thanks for your help.

  • Design Time and Dynamicall​y Created Controls

    I have a project written in VC6 as an MFC Dialog Box project. In a particular box, I dynamically create several (exact number depends on user entry) CNiGraphs. There are also a two CNiButtons that were created at design time using the resource editor. The problem I'm having is that when this dialog box is opened, a message pops up saying it's an eval version and the control will go inactive after 5 minutes. After waiting 5 minutes, the 2 CNiButtons go inactive (turn black), but the CNiGraphs continue to run. I have a valid licensed version of MStudio 8.1.6, but it appears that these 2 buttons don't recognize the license. There are also other design-time buttons in the project but those one's don't have a problem at all. When creating the dynamically creating the CNiGraphs I give them a valid license string, and I was wondering if there is a problem with having design time created and dynamically created controls in the same dialog box. Does anyone know?
    I can't remember, but I may have created those 2 CNiButtons when I was only using an eval license. (All the other were definitely create when I had a full license) Could that be affecting them? I seem to have a vague recollection of reading somewhere that design-time create controls check the license when they are created in the designer and store that license info in them. If that's the case does anyone know an easy way to update the license stored in the control? I'd rather not just delete it and re-add it as I'd like to avoid having to redo the tab order (unless someone knows how to easily insert something in the middle of the tab order instead of having to click through all the controls in the correct order?)
    Also, I'm not sure if this would affect anything, but the project was originally built with ComponentWorks 1.0, but we were forced to move to MStudio when we encountered some bugs in CW, so all the controls were originally CW Controls that have been converted to CNi Controls. I doubt this is it though as everywhere else we changed over the controls don't have a problem, but I'm willing to try suggestions.
    Solved!

    Hi JC,
    I hope you had a good weekend!  I am glad to hear you are back up and running.  Adding the extra button was, in fact, what caused the updating of the license information for the other buttons, as you suspected.  After doing further research, I have found that the license information is stored wtihin the form for the control, and unless that control changes in any way (or in your case adding a new one to the project), it does not see any reason upon compiling to relink the license.  However, after changing the control and recompiling, it updates the linking of the license information, which resolved this issue in your case.  
    I hope this helps, JC.  Have a great day!

  • How can I design a time controlled applicatio​n

    I want to build a time controlled VI which can provide chemical actions e.g. to open or close valves etc. The duration of the actions, the steps are written down in a spreadsheet e.g. from 0...1 min open valve A, from 1...10 min open valve B etc. The user should have the possibility to pause the run and resume at the same point. Can someone help me to find the most effective way to solve this problem? Thanks Ruediger (I use LV 6.0 on NT4)

  • Report does not print exactly same as it appears at design time

    Hello,
    I am using SAP Crystal report with VS 2010.
    I designed a report. At design time every thing appears fine. Margins are set to 0, printer is selected and page size is custom.(right click on report, design>pagesetup)
    When I use <reportname>.printtoprinter(), it dramatically changes the text size and margins of the report in hard copy. I tried literally everything for this. Especially It adds nearly 2 inches extra margin at top.Also , at run time it changes the font size to 8 or 9 points if i have set it to 12 at design time.
    I get the same problem if I do following:
      crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rptRcAbh;
       crystalReportViewer1.PrintReport();
    HOWEVER!!
    When I do this:
      crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rptRcAbh;
    AND when I manually click the print button of crystal report viewer, i get EXACTLY SAME result as design time. This is what I am expecting from printoprinter() method. But Its changing result dramatically.
    Why is this happening? Am I forgetting any setting?
    I must use reprot.printtoprinter() method here. Because I am printing the bill receipt. I dont want the user to go to printpreview then click print. AND I must get same result as design on printed page.
    Please help me. I am in urgent need.

    Hi Don,
    Firstly I am very very thankful to you for replying me.
    I know I must have irritated you a bit cuz I was expecting everything ready which I should have :P
    but I was in urgent need and there was no time for me to read everything. I must say a thing that I did not get good search results on printcontroller when I used search box of this website.
    Well Thanks again for helping me in deed.
    I am sure this must be the problem for many people across the globe, hence I am posting the exact code that helped me to print the document Accurately:

  • Ver 4: Still no support for Includes or Design Time Stylesheets?

    Wow...well, without either of these I can't make use of this
    product. I guess I'm confused at what types of users this product
    may be marketed toward, although with the amount of focus put on
    Blogs and Blogging and lack of focus on requests already made in
    this forum for some time I'm getting a better idea. Hey, if they
    want to "dumb this down" and make it a price point product that
    purposely sits lower on the totem pole than Dreamweaver, then I
    think that ought to be made more clear in the marketing materials.
    I guess what's frustrating is that it's touted that it "uses the
    Dreamweaver HTML Engine" but can't implement a feature like Design
    Time Stylesheets? Would this put it too close to Dreamweaver in the
    product line? I certainly don't think so but if it did implement
    such a feature it would increase the demographic that could make
    use of such a great product as many users are not going to rewrite
    Includes OUT of their existing sites just to be able to use it.
    Most intermediate to advanced designers will almost always,
    and have been taught, to use includes to minimize page changes in
    multiple places...it's such a common thing to do. But unless an
    included page can be edited inline I have no way to turn my users
    loose with this app. It seems reasonable to implement Design Time
    Stylesheets like Dreamweaver does in which case, the users could
    edit the included page directly and at least see it like it should
    look with formatting which they can't do now because of the lack of
    an applied stylesheet when opening the include file directly.
    Do they expect that once we've written a site using includes
    we should have our content providers use Dreamweaver? I don't know
    about the rest of you but that's asking for a heck of a lot of
    trouble turning non-designer/developers loose with
    Dreamweaver...even using Templates.
    Sorry for the rant, I'm just a bit frustrated as I really
    need an app that can let me make use of "Content Providers" in our
    company. And don't get me wrong, I'm a long time Macromedia/Adobe
    supporter...just hoped something would happen with v4 that didn't
    and was pretty sure it would based on user input on this and other
    forums.
    If anyone has ideas on workarounds for this problem I'd love
    to hear!
    Thx,
    Mike

    Hi. I'm going to reopen this thread instead of starting a new
    one. Maybe someone here can help me figure out how Contribute can
    solve my client's editing woes.
    His site is built in ColdFusion, with template information
    that's stored in the database for each page. Currently this is what
    happens, simplified.
    1. User requests /foo.cfm
    2. Database looks up header, footer, and template to use for
    /foo.cfm, or the page can use "no template" in which case
    whatever's in the page gets put between the header and footer.
    3. The template or the page will contain one or more
    "editable regions", to use a Dreamweaver term. These blocks of HTML
    are pulled out of the database, and can currently be edited within
    the CMS by a browser-based WYSWYG editor.
    The problem is, the WYSIWYG editor in question isn't up to
    the task. Contribute seems to be, but I can't figure out how to fit
    it into a workflow compatible with this site!
    We don't use Dreamweaver and from what I've seen Dreamweaver
    templates aren't going to work in this application. It seems that
    if you make a change to the template, Dreamweaver has to go and
    update all 800 pages that use the template ... ??!? ... if so,
    lame.
    I don't mind pulling out all the HTML content snippets from
    the database and making a "database" on the filesystem of files
    that can be edited in Contribute. No problem. One of these snippets
    may be a "contact us" box or something that's used on 100 pages
    throughout the site, so I'm not going to put stuff like that
    separately on every page.
    If I do this, though, my snippets when I open them to edit
    them in Contribute are missing their CSS. This is because the CSS
    is set up in the header file, which is not included in the snippet
    HTML, obviously. The snippets also won't have the header and footer
    navigation and stuff, but I can live with that.
    How can I get the CSS to show up for my client when he edits
    the HTML snippets?
    The only solution I can think of is to put a stylesheet
    include into every snippet, and then pull that out with a regular
    expression from EVERY include at runtime whenever I display that
    HTML to the end user. Talk about a gross, ugly, non-extensible
    hack. Please tell me there's a better way...
    Thanks for reading,

  • How to add values dynamically for custom property during design time?

    I am trying to create a user control with custom properties. I have a property named Server.
    And Values for this property is system dependent. I have the code that can generate the values and is working fine.
    During the design time, when I include this control in my application, and type the property name, I want Visual Studio to prompt for the values. Like it
    does for Alignment property for some controls shows Left, Right, Center.. during design time.
    If the Values are static, I can use an enum and it works fine. I need help with dynamic values.

    You can't, afaik.
    It's either an enum or you don't get that functionality of values.
    There is no right left centre, "Towards the top right but just off centre" - which I just thought of... option for example.
    Hope that helps.

  • Time controlled processing

    Hello All.
    My process consists in creating a text file contaning information of many idoc generated on R3 side.
    I know SAP R3 can send idoc in packs but I don't want my messages to be too big => Thus, Idoc Pack size won't be higher than 100.
    Every day, I will send my packs of idoc to XI in order to create the outbound file.
    With one pack of Idoc no pb but how can I do to create only one file when I would have more than one pack
    I want to know if it is possible without using BPM to build one file at a determined,scheduled moment with all received and not already processed idocs and how ?
    I found in documentations the possibility to maintain filters for time controlled processing (SXMB_ADM).
    Do someone have links about it or explain me the global steps to do what I want.
    Thanks very much

    hi,
    I'm not sure if you understood it correctly
    IDOC packects from R3 are not received as packets in XI
    they are received as one by one...
    so you need a BPM to collect them (to any number you want) anyway
    and BPM gives you many possibilities of telling
    when to stop and then when to create the file...

  • How to disable process design time attributes WS RM

    Hi,
      I recently configured a NW BPM test scenario which works as expected. When I tried to test/call BPM Process using SOAP UI/Webservice client I am unable to send a message to SAP BPM process due to WS RM & WS A are activated at design time. While developing scenario in NWDS how can I disable the properties WS-RM & WS A for start event trigger as this acts provider WSDL for Webservice client . Thank you in advance.
    Thank you,
    Mallik

    Hi Mailk,
    Any/every asynchronous web service developed in the ESR and then imported from ESR into NWDS will have properties added to the WSDL on import by the design time. The attributes are tagged as shown below.
    <ifw:properties xmlns:ifw="urn:com-sap:ifr:v2:wsdl">
    On deployment, these attributes trigger the SOA infrastructure to generate the service endpoint interface as WS-RM. These properties cannot be changed in the runtime SOA configuration as they are not editable. 
    If you want to develop the services in the ESR and then deploy them without WS-RM there are two options.
    a) copy-paste the wsdl out of the ESR perspective (the raw WSDL text) and create a local document with same name and then import the WSDL from the file system in NWDS
    b) import the WSDL from ESR and then manually remove all the <ifw: properties/attributes, then save the WSDL.
    My preference is to develop the service in the ESR (as all services should be) and then import and remove the tags. But the copy-paste and create a local WSDL is less error-prone. In any event you'll need to document the WSDL so that down the road anyone who might modify the service would know that it has been further adapted outside the standard tooling. The <ifw: attributes also control other runtime properties such as authentication, so please do some homework on services deployed with and without the tags so you can see for yourself and really understand the service endpoint generation.
    regards, Nick

  • ActiveX, WingMan Joystick, Immersion TouchSense: can't set "design time" property

    I am trying to control a Logitech WingMAN force feedback joystick from
    LabVIEW, via the ActiveX control provided by Immersion Corporation
    (ImmWeb.ocx).
    I know I have basically got the ActiveX right, because I can control
    other
    Immersion-enabled devices (Logitech iFeel mouse) fine.
    However, I can't get the WingMAN to work: the ActiveX control has a
    dtDirectXForbidDevice property, which I need to change to
    dtDirectXRequireDevice. Immersion have told me that this property is
    set
    at design time, and is read only at run-time. Trying to set it at
    run-time
    returns an error. How should I set this property, ideally within
    LabVIEW, but alternatively by some other means?
    Many thanks.

  • Updating tag attributes in design time

    I have a design time renderer for my custom component... As the component renders itself in design time, I set some of the component properties from within the renderer... The property sheet correctly shows those values... However, the associated JSP tag in the source view does not show those attributes... The JSP tag attributes dictate the runtime behavior and since they are not set properly, my component misbehaves.
    How do I make sure that the tag attributes sync up with the property sheet values?
    Also, what is the motivation behind the property sheet displaying the component values and not the JSP tag values? Having it the way it is right now opens itself up to a bunch of out-of-sync problems like the one I encountered.
    Thanks,
    Keyur

    Ok - here are a couple of scenarios:
    1. I have a component, say chart component associated with a connection component like this:
    <my:connection id="connection1" />
    <my:chart connectionId="connection1" />The user first drags and drops the connection component. The ID connection1 is automatically associated to it. Next he drops the chart component. Now, I would like to automatically populate the connectionId attribute without the user having to type it in manually. I am able to do that (in design time) in the renderer of the chart component - I programmatically look for a connection component on the page and set the connectionId attribute of the control. And when I do that it correctly shows the connectionId attribute populated in the property sheet but the corresponding tag attribute is not.
    Sure enough, at runtime, it is the tag attribute values that count and since those are not updated by the IDE, it does not work as expected.
    2. Creator updates the style attribute when I move or resize the component. Now, I also have position attributes left and top defined on my component and I use these attributes at runtime to position my component. So, in design time I extract the left and top values from the style attribute and set them on the component. But again, the tag attributes are not populated and so the component is not positioned properly.
    #1 is to convenience the user so that he doesn't have to manually enter values for attributes which can be automatically populated at design time.
    In fact for #1, I would ideally like to show the user a drop down list of all the connections available to him in the property sheet and select the first one by default. Is this possible?
    #2 is for backward compatibility reasons - We already have runtime renderers in place which use left and top attributes explicitly to render the components at runtime. And this is not restricted to left and top only but other client attributes as well - such as borders, backgrounds etc. which we expose as separate attributes.

  • Design time issues

    hi,
    i have some problems displaying my usercontrols with EF6 in design time
    first i had a connectionstring not found exception, so after some search i modified the dbcontext constructor to change connectionstring dynamically like this
    public partial class CardioEFEntities : DbContext
    public CardioEFEntities(String connString)
    : base(connString)
    string p = "metadata=res://*/CardioEFModel.csdl|res://*/CardioEFModel.ssdl|res://*/CardioEFModel.msl;provider=FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient;provider connection string='character set=ISO8859_1;data source=localhost;initial catalog=C:\\Dev\\WPF\\Projects\\Cardio\\CARDIO.FDB;user id=SYSDBA;password=masterkey'";
    p = p.Replace("localhost", arr[0]);
    p = p.Replace("C:\\Dev\\WPF\\Projects\\Cardio\\CARDIO.FDB", arr[1]);
    context = new CardioEFEntities(p);
    now i have a blank empty page instead of the exception !
    i would say that everything work at runtime fine but not in design time,
    also i have my DAL in a separate class library project .
    any help is welcome
    thanks and goo day !

    btw in my code i have a class that implement INotifyPropertyChanged wich get the data from database,
    in my usercontrol i have a reference for that class like this
    <UserControl.Resources>
    <local:ListeConsViewModel x:Key="ListeConsViewModel"/>
    </UserControl.Resources>
    <UserControl.DataContext>
    <local:ListeConsViewModel />
    </UserControl.DataContext>
