Embedding Help in c# form

Is there any way to embed help into a c# windows form?
I can run my context sensitive help just fine using the c#
robohelp support classes that launch a browser window, but i want
to show my help inside a c# form.
I can create a form and add a web browser control to it and
pass that the url of my context sensitive page, but a browser
window still gets launched instead.
I guess there is something in the html page that causes this
behaviour. Is there something simple im missing here?

Hi, Gleedo,
Here are some resources that may help, although none is
specifically from a RoboHelp or C# perspective.
KeyWorks' CHHCtrl class:
http://www.keyworks.net/code.htm
KeyHelp (ActiveX control that you can embed in dialogs):
http://www.keyworks.net/keyhelp.htm
Rob Chandler's "Delphi Programming for the HTML Help API":
http://www.workwrite.com/helpthink/delphi_chandler.htm
The last publication contains a lengthy section on embedding
help, albeit targetted at Delphi programmers.

  • Creating help in a form

    Hi,
    I need writing a help in a form and I have some informations to put in the help.
    I tried, this but I get an error at the end indicationg a @ is missing:
    $x = @"
     -Nom du produit tel que publié par le fabricant
     - Ne doit pas contenir d'espace
     - Débuter les mots avec des majuscules Exemple: Office
     $helpprovider1.SetHelpString($TxtNomLogiciel, $x)
    Also, I give a try to that but the text is not well format and the help box will be off the form probably because the string is too long.
    $helpprovider1.SetHelpString($TxtNomLogiciel, "-Nom du produit tel que publié par le fabricant
     - Ne doit pas contenir d'espace - Débuter les mots avec des majuscules Exemple: Office")

  • How to use F4 help on PDF form

    Hello,
    I'm using Adobe Interactive Form with WebDynpro for Java.
    I'd like to use F4 value help on Adobe Form.
    Does anyone know how to implement F4 help on PDF form ?
    Regards,
    Koji.

    Hi,
    SAP Note: 1013227.
    But you should have ZCI based forms. Note: 1055911 and 1042394.
    It always makes sense if you specify the NetWeaver SP release you are on along with any other information that you think is important.

  • Value Help on Adobe Forms

    Hi,
    I'm trying to implement one search help (F4 on sap) on adobe forms. I just do this process
    For standard value help in Adobe forms:
    1) In layout chose UI element 'Value Help Drop-down List' from WebDynpro Native Controls of Library Palette.
    2) In Object pallete ->Binding tab, update Default binding with corresponding field .
    For ex: You have context like below
    -NODE
    -FIELD(type LAND1)
    In Default binding, $record.NODE.FIELD
    since LAND1 is a standard type, you will get all the values in value table T005 in the F4 help
    3) Make sure the 'Type' of the field in Object pallete ->Field tab is drop-down list.
    But i can't see any action on adobe. May the properties of the the attribute field on context are wrong.
    Anyone can help please.
    Thank you.

    This is the code that the program create:
                    var processingValueHelp = ContainerFoundation_JS.getGlobalValue(event.target, "processingValueHelp");
                       if(processingValueHelp == false) {
                           ContainerFoundation_JS.setGlobalValue(event.target, "processingValueHelp", true);
                           this.rawValue = "";
                           this.clearItems();
                           ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target,
                                                                         "valueHelp",
                                                                         this.dataNode.somExpression.replace(/(xfa.?\.)(datasets.?\.)(data.*?\.)/, ""),
                                                                         this.rawValue,
                                                                         event.target.mouseX,
                                                                      event.target.mouseY);
    What is suppose to change ?

  • Field Level Help on Tabular forms

    Hi,
    Is there any easy way I can add field level help to tabular forms?
    If I create a form on a table I can add help for each field, however if I create a tabular form there seems to be no way I can associate field level help with a column.
    I know that I can add page level help and could describe all of the columns there, but it would be nicer to add individual help to each column.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Martin

  • Help with Custom Forms Report

    Hi there,
    I recently created a new custom web form in BC that appears to be working fine.
    My problem is that when I go to custom reports, in filter criteria I can't see my new form under the 'Custom CRM Form Filter'. All my other forms are appearing here however.
    Am I just missing one small step?
    Thanks for the help!

    Yor form must not have any custom fields, which is why it isn't in that
    dropdown. You can use the case subject to filter the cases where the case
    subject is the webform name.
    Cheers,

  • Help fix my form

    Hello everyone,
         I have been reading the forms for a couple weeks now and I have learned greatly from them. I have experimented, tried to implement different things on my form and I have in my limited Adobe experience came close to what I am trying to achieve.
         However; I am still having a couple issues and I am asking for help again. I have created my form and have created dynamic fields that duplicate when you choose the "add row" button to my table. It will also delete the added row with the delete row button. This works successfully. After that I have a text field that I have told to allow multiple lines and that works successfully and I will need it to expand to multiple pages if necessary. I think this might work however have not fully tested that feature. The issue I am having is when my table rows are added they cross over the text field just below duplicating table row. I know that the form can be told to push down the fields as rows are added so this will not happen however I just can not seem to figure it out. I am not sure if it is something in my subform settings, hierarchy structure or what.
    I have also created a second table at the bottom of the form which I need to add rows on demand also. I used the same java code for that table and row adjusting for the second table name ( ) (Table2._Row1.addinstance(1);) however it is not adding the rows on demand.
    I have seen many people post their form on here and others "fix" them and provide helpful guidance. I would like to ask for help with my form and would like to post it so it can be reviewed by any kind person that is willing to help but I do not know how to link my form.
    Can anyone help me with my first issue of telling me how to post my form and then possibly help with fixing my form??
    Thanks,
    Shane

    Shane,
    You need to configure your subform as Flowed. By doing this when you add rows, it pushes the other fields automatically.
    Let's say, for example, that you have in your page a group of textfields then a table and finally another group of fields:
    Page 1
    textfield1
    textfield2
    textfield3
    table
    row1
    row2
    textfield4
    textfield5
    You should put all of this in subforms and set up as follows:
    Page 1 -> Flowed
    Subform1 -> Positioned
    textfield1
    textfield2
    textfield3
    table -> Flowed
    row1
    row2
    subform2 -> Positioned
    textfield4
    textfield5
    The subform1 and 2 you can either set as Flowed os leave as Positioned, but have in mind that when you want some field to have dynamic behavior, like grow, you need to set up it parent subform as Flowed. Thus your dynamic fields won't grow up in front of other fields.
    This is how I work, if anyone has another idea, please come up
    Hope this helps.

  • Help with PDF form responses

    Hey there!
    I have two issues with online form data collection and am completely stumped. It's a real struggle to find useful documentation for Acrobat forms!
    #1 - I have created a form uploaded it to Acrobat.com, and have been able to collect test form data. In the local responses portfolio, I'm able to use the 'Update' button to bring the latest form data into the portfolio. But I would like to have a colleague be responsible for monitoring the form data and we're running into problems. He's able to open the portfolio and has full access, however the 'Update' button is greyed out so he is unable to bring in new form data. We've already updated his 'Acrobat.com' username/password in Acrobat preferences to match mine, but still no luck. Any help?
    #2 - Some computers are having issues with electronic submission. My best guess is that this is to do with Acrobat versions, as the issues all seem to come from computers where the form is completed using Acrobat Reader 8. The form was created with Pro 9, and form submission works for both Pro 9 and also Reader 9. Is there something I can do here? (And yes I know that it's a free upgrade to 9, but 8 is still in the official build for our organisation and I don't really have time to wait for them to complete an upgrade!)
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

    Hello Paul,
    Thank you for your reply.
    I use Ipower for my hosting.  I see they use sendmail and the path on the server is - /usr/sbin/sendmail.  Would this work?
    The way I would like this to work would be:
    1) I e-mail the PDF form to the client
    2) Client opens and fills in the form
    3) They hit submit and the form information eventually gets e-mailed to my business e-mail
    I chose to use the HTTP method instead of e-mail because the PDF form says it can not be saved and if the client uses an internet beased e-mail like Yahoo it gets kind of messy.
    But, does the HTTP delivery method make it more difficult since this is not embedded in a website?
    Sorry, I did not realise this would be as involved as it is.  Your help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Help with PDF Form Submission

    Hello,
    I am using Live Cycle for the first time.  I have designed a PDF form that my clients will fill out and then send back to me.
    I have a website and thought submitting the form via http would be best but am having a problem with knowing the correct URL an then the server authentication.
    When I try to submit now I get an authorization error.
    Here is the URL I used in LiveCycle - http://watchmymvp.com/profilesubmissions
    This is to a folder a created on the server.
    How do I set this up?
