Disable/Hide Index Tab in WinHelp2000?

Hi folks,
Is there any way to disable/hide the Index tab in WinHelp
2000?
We built a project using RoboHelp for Word (RoboHelp Office
X5) and the team decided they didn't have time to bother with an
index AND they felt the index would be of little value, since there
were tons of duplicate topics (formerly field names) with the same
name (ex: Description, Address, etc). They also didn't feel they
had the time to carefully "scrub" an index built using SmartIndex.
I tried building one using SmartIndex, and it stopped after it got
part way through several hundred Word docs (total of 517) and
several thousand topics (total of 2,680).
With all of the Index keywords stripped out of the project, a
blank index pane looks pretty ugly.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Colum,
Thanks for getting back to me. I agree - a well done index is
worth it, probably worth more than the full-text search in this
case. Unfortunately, when the help was originally created for the
DOS version of the application, the programmers decided to create
field level help for EVERY field (2,680 total). Since none of these
topics provided any context for which field belonged to which
screen, it's now kind of confusing to go through an index and view
17 different "County" fields from 17 different fields, all with
different descriptions. If I had the chance, I would have
completely changed the goal of the help into something more useful.

  • Dynamic Display/Hide/Disable/Enable Portal Tabs..

    We have a Portal Page Group with multiple TABS. We like to be able to display/hide (or enable/disable) tabs based on the Portal Roles assigned to the current user.
    Is it possible to Hide/Display tabs dynamically based on certain conditions? What is the best way to enforce this without creating multiple page groups?
    Thanks

    Tabs can have access privileges assigned, so out-of-the-box tab security would work. Was there some other condition you need to address?

  • How to hide Job index tab in PPOME

    Guys,
    Pls advise how to hide Job index tab in PPOME.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The job index tab page is IT0783. You can check this through transaction OOFRAMEWORKCUST. In the same transaction, double click on u201CTab Page in Scenario for each Object Typeu201D folder under u201CScenario Definition (Hierarchy Framework)u201D in the left column. The scenario for PPOME is OME0. Look for the entry for OME0 and tab page IT0783 and check the u201Cdo not displayu201D box the last column.
    Hope this helps.
    p.s. Please search the forum on this topic. There are plenty of threads on PPOME tab page customization.

  • Index Tab Be Gone! (How?)

    I thought I had the sneaky way of doing this - by entering garbage on the window definition in Advanced Properties beside "Index:"  This hid the Index tab and I thought all was well but I was wrong.  It's fine until I do my on-the-fly topic swapping and then it goes crazy on me - see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/504223?tstart=0
    Now, I figured out that that problem goes away IF I take out the garbage from the Advanced Properties, but of course my Index tab reappears.  I don't want it.  I have a custom button that is called Index that points to a topic which is our handmade Index.  Having both would be extremely confusing for the users.
    So, how do I hide the Index tab?
    My secondary dilemma is that I want Auto-syncronize TOC enabled in both chm files.  What I just noticed is that as soon as I swap topics, the Home and Index buttons point to the relative paths in the OTHER chm file and when pressed, the current chm can't find them.  Is there a format of path I can use that is sort of relative but sort of fixed at the same time so it won't get confused?  The chm files can be moved around to different directories but they will always be together as sibling files.  I feel like I've opened a bottomless can of worms.  (I know the perfect solution to this would have been one chm with conditional tags per language but we had to convert from existing .hpj projects and had no time to merge everything manually for that solution.)
    Any suggestions?

    Aha.  I deleted the .hhk and then noticed that RH automatically created a brand new one.  At least it's smart enough to realize that if the file is empty, don't show the Index.  I recompiled and it disappeared - perfect, thank you   (The default search still seems to work fine - we have Advanced Search turned off.)
    Now, that leaves my other issue with the Custom Buttons and the Home button.  I'm shooting in the dark at the moment looking for a url format that I can use to be relative yet include the destination chm name along with the topic.
    Setup:
    CHM English - Home points to HomeEnglish.htm, Custom Button 1 points to IndexEnglish.htm, TopicEnglish has hyperlink to TopicFrench.
    CHM French - Home points to HomeFrench.htm, Custom Button 1 points to IndexFrench.htm, TopicFrench has hyperlink to TopicEnglish.
    In CHM English, I navigate to TopicEnglish, click the hyperlink which opens TopicFrench within the CHM English content frame, then press either Home or Custom Button 1.  It tries to go to HomeFrench.htm or TopicFrench.htm but in the CHM English.  How do I tell it which chm to look at?
    (I've tried with Auto-synchronize TOC on and off - no difference in behaviour.)

  • PSCD custom Tabs u2013 need to hide a Tab on the CAA1, CAA2, CAA3 transactions

    We are using Business Data Toolset (BDT) (transaction CAWM) for these changes.
    We are using PSCD for one department and created a Tab for the custom data screens and it works just fine.
    Now we need to setup a 2nd department to use PSCD and we want to create a 2nd Tab for the custom data screens for this department. This I have been able to do.
    However we want the department to see only their custom Tab Not the other departments. I have not been able to figure out how to hide a Tab.
    I can not find any documentation on how to do this.
    Is it even possible?

    Your idea sounds do-able.
    For any FP object that you want to extend, you would create a "Shortcut Menu Activation?" Event. Within the event, you can retrieve a MenuRef.
    Using the Menu Palette, you use the Insert Menu Items function, each item has a displayed name and a tag.
    You then add a Shortcut Menu Selection (User) Event for the FP object to handle the selection made by the user. The ItemTags that you assign in the are available to use as a case selector. Your example would simply set the Tab control's index value to switch to the panel you want.
    I built a fancy tree control (as an XControl) a few years ago for an internal tool that presented a view of files on disk and the right-click menu was context sensitive the the extension of the filename selected. Look in the Facade and the FileView Set Context Menu.vi for the guts of what I did.
    I always deleted the tree menu choices and then added my own. If you don't delete the items, then your options are appended to the end.
    I've attached the files here as a ZIP. (LV8.6)
    Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

  • Hiding/Disabling the resources tab under project management.

    Hi,
    We need to hide/disable the resources tab in project management screen. We are not using project resource management module and also the Profile Option "PA: Licensed to use Project Resource Management" has been set to "No".
    Can someone suggest a solution for the same.
    Regards,
    Rakesh Menon

    I already got an response to the issue from Julia through Oracle Community...
    Below is the solution -
    For the Project Management Responsibility where you want your Resource Tab to be disabled:
    Go to a System Administrator responsibility - Security - Responsibility-Define.
    Look for your resposibility of Project Management.
    Under Menu Exclusion Tab add a line with Type Menu and name "Project Resource Sub Tab".
    Click Save button and then go to check in your responsibility if the Resources Tab is disabled. (it should be).

  • How hide the tab button in welcome file

    i am a portal green hand,have a basic question,how can i hide a tab button in portal welcome file,and it will be visible after i login the portal

    If you implement the viewer yourself, there is an SDK call on disabling the print button.
    If you just use InfoView as-is and do not want to touch the code, there is a Consulting Solution called BOInterface that Business Objects Global Services sells and that helps you to achieve what you describe very easily.

  • Cannot disable "always show tab bar" in FF 28.0?

    FF 19 had an option to deselect "always show tab bar" so that the tab bar is shown only when 2 or more tabs are open.
    FF 28 seems to always show the tab bar. I don't see any way to disable that (unless 2 or more tabs are open).
    How can I coerce FF 28 to not show tab bar unless 2 or more tabs are open?

    waka wrote: "In Firefox 23 and up, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and facilitate future improvements to Firefox, the option to hide the tab bar was removed. Fortunately, this can easily be resolved if you desire the keep tabs hidden. You can install "Hide tab bar with one tab", an extension hosted on Mozilla's add-ons site".
    That definitely "helps" insofar as you addressed my question dispositively.
    However, I do not agree with the decision. How does removing one option substantially "simplify" things? How does forcing me to install an add-on "simplify" things for me, the customer?
    FYI, I few add-ons as potential risks and a definite maintenance headache. A GUI add-on is probably more susceptible to compatibility issues.
    If you want to "simplify" the GUI by removing one option from a menu (that isn't very "busy" in the first place; klunk!), at least provide an about:config option to control this behavior.
    As for "facilitating future improvements", that is not my concern, a customer. Everything is SMOP.
    I was in product development and maintenance for 35 years, and we always put the customer first. One of our cardinal rules was: do not remove a feature unless it is a security risk; and even then, we might leave an option to re-enable the feature "at your own risk".
    Oh well, I'm probably p.i.s.s.ing into the wind. But thanks again for an accurate response.

  • How do I disable the "New Tab opened" button that appears for 3secs when I open a new tab?

    Dear Helpful Open Source people.
    I would like to disable the "New Tab opened" that appears for 3secs when I open a new tab?
    I usually open tabs from a search engine's results page expecting the links to be of varying quality. This means that it is efficient to open several links from that page and review and close them sequentially later. A reality of the output of search engines is that your 1st link is sedom the one you want.
    This button clutters an already small phone screen. I've hardly the space to click outside it and move on often clicking it by accident. Waiting prevents me scrolling to click the next link for 3 seconds or worse when I scroll prematurely I accidentally click it and jump to that Tab prematurely. I don't need to be told what I just did. I know... There is a perfectly functional tabs button in Firefox Android that let's me jump to my new tab in less than second with 2 presses when I wish to do so.
    I appreciate that it's "only" 3 seconds and a 1st world problem, but browsers and OS designers aspire to fast customisable function. Maybe there's a way to get rid of this button?
    The button is shown in section 3 of "Open a Link in a New Tab" in this article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-tabs-firefox-android
    PS. Mozilla - great work with the Sync function keep developing!!

    For some reason, Android calls that little notification bar a "toast" so that's the new tab toast. It was added in Firefox 12.
    I can't see any preference to suppress it, so I think that would require filing a new bug (request for enhancement). If you feel strongly, I think you are the best person to file it.

  • How can I get the Index tabs to show for each page that is open in the window like on the older versions. I close a window and it says I have tabs open but the tabs are not visible. How do I set it like the older versions? This was easy to manage

    The index tabs were on some kind of toolbar just below the bookmark toolbar and you could see what was open in multiple tabs. I'm not referring to rolling over the Firefox icon for the Windows 7 thing, that's a pain. These index tabs were in plain sight. No matter what I try in Firefox 8, they won't appear.

    the tabs were move to above the navigation bar, where the menu bar was. They hardly look like tabs there, but you may have turned off the tabs bars. View (Alt>V) > Toolbars > Tabs Bar
    I think the solutions would really prefer though would be
    You can make '''Firefox 8.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

    Hi,
    I have a Tab Control in my Front Panel. So, using a array of LEDs, I would like to hide some tabs, probably using Property Node functions, but I can't find what option do it. Is it possible?

    Thanks Macro!  I came to the forum to find a solution for this exact problem, it's nice to find it already laid out for me so clearly.
