Fixed size topic pane

Hello all. I am using RoboHelp 7 and my output is webhelp. If
the user changes the width of the TOC it changes the size of the
topic pane. This distorts information and makes tables espeically
hard to read. If the user needs to change the sixe of the TOC I
would like the topic pane to stay the same width and just have a
scroll bar at the bottom. Can someone help me with this?

Hi Sam
I can think of a couple of ways to accomplish this. Neither
is particularly difficult but both will require hand tweaking each
topic.
Method one: Use an invisible table
With this approach you basically select all the content in
the topic and cut it to the Windows Clipboard. You then insert a
single cell table and configure the width as desired. Then hide all
borders so it doesn't show. Then paste the content back in.
Method two: Use some HTML code
With this approach you edit each topic to insert a DIV tag
that sets the width of everything that follows. You would insert a
closing DIV tag at the end of the topic.
Below is a sample:
</head>
<body>
<div style="width: 400px; position: fixed;">
Topic content here
</div>
</body>
</html>
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Some child chms don't display topic in topic pane when TOC item is clicked

Okay. I'm not sure what's going on.
We have a master project and various sub-chms that get merged into the TOC of that master project. We have a fairly new sub RH project named "Toolkit Modules" that generates three additional sub chms that are also merged into the master help. They appear at the very end of the master project's TOC:
<master help's toc>
<10 other merged chms>
toolkitmodules.chm
toolkitmodules_blade.chm
toolkitmodules_vwmp.chm
All the topics for the three toolkit modules chms exist in the Toolkit Modules project and are conditionally marked with topic-level build tags so that the right topics appear in their respective chm.
I compiled the three toolkit chms and then put them in the master root directory so that when the master help is generated, they get included properly.
At first glance, all three of these chms appear to be working fine in the master TOC. I can expand and view the master help's TOC for the sub projects just fine, but clicking on a TOC entry does not display
the topics for these two chms in the topic pane:
toolkitmodules_blade.chm
toolkitmodules_vwmp.chm
I'm not sure why.
If I double-click and open up the individual chms from within Windows and view their contents, the topics appear as expected in those chms. It's just when merged, these latter two chms don't do anything from the TOC side. However, I have verified that the topics are indeed getting merged in, because I can use the Search tab to see the topics. In fact, the Locate button on the toolbar even expands the correct TOC and highlights the entry that matches. So something's just not working from the TOC side.
Any ideas?

Right now I simply don't have the bandwidth to say "send me your project". You may see me ask others to do so but that will only be where I believe it will be simple or I just need to see something.
Take a look at Item 13 in http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh9/using_rh9.htm. That covers the fix to the merged CHM help problem that was used before Adobe fixed it in 902. Part of the problem was the HHP getting rewritten so maybe something there will help.
Any merged CHM help users able to pitch in here?

Robohelp 8: Child Project topics not displaying in the topic pane

Hi All:
I am working on a Robohelp 8 merged help with four child projects. The child project I added last (which appears as Child 2 on the ToC) displays fine in the ToC pane. However, none of the Child 2 topics display in the Topics pane.
When I investigated, I found that Child 2 had a few broken links. I fixed them but this has made no difference.
I have cleared the MergedHelp folder and recompiled a few times, but w/o any change. Child 1, 3 and 4 topics display in the topics pane, but not Child 2 topics.
Would appreciate any pointers.
Regards,
Sophie

Try deleting the child from the TOC and readding it. If that does not work, can you post an image of what you are seeing. You can do so via the camera toolbar icon.

FlashHelp files not displaying in topic pane

I have generated FlashHelp using RoboHelp 7. I then copied
the FlashHelp folder to a server via FTP.
When I view the ...index.htm file in the !SSL! folder on my C
drive, the system displays correctly. When I view the ...index.htm
file in the FlashHelp folder on the server, the .htm files are not
displaying in the topic pane. It states "Internet Explorer cannot
display the webpage. On the first page of the FlashHelp wizard, I
have the output folder and start page designated
(...!SSL!/FlashHelp/Index.htm). The default topic is
GettingStarted\home.htm.
Any suggestions?

If the toolbar and left pane are loading, the scripts must be
working correctly. Do you have a way to view a list of the files
that are actually on the server and verify that all your HTML
topics are present?
The reason I ask is that I had trouble recently with one
project in which I was getting application (Java "FileNotFound")
errors in my topic pane when accessing the help through the
application. I use version control, however, and once I had deleted
my files from the repository and then checked them in again, the
problem seemed to be fixed. But if you are doing FTP directly to
the server, you are probably not dealing with application builds.
In any case, the problem appeared to be that the server was not
recognizing that the files were actually there.

How to resize a jpg/gif file to a fix size using jimi ?

I have search from the web and didn't find any example on doing this.
Can any one give example on how to resize a jpg image. let say 120x240
to a fixed size 40x40 ?
thank you

Hi.
When you got that image in form of a file, just load it and invoke the image's getScaledInstance(...)-method.
Here's how it could work:
import java.awt.*;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] argv) {
// define where the image comes from:
URL toImage = new URL("file:/C:/test.jpg"); // or the like
// get the image:
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(toImage);
// scale the image to target size (40x40 here):
Image smallImage = image.getScaledInstance(40, 40, Image.SCALE_DEFAULT);
// you might want to do other things like displaying it afterwards
}HTH & cheers,
kelysar

Fixed size regions in Apex 4.0

It is possible to create a fixed size regiion - that is only using half of the screen height to have a report (and having a bar to on the right to move up/down) ?
I'm going to use it for a 2+ master-detail report.
regards
Mette

Hi Mette,
what region template and which theme are you exactly using? For most region templates you can pass in additional style attributes with the "Region Attributes" property in the "Attributes" section of a region definition.
So for example you could use
style=\"height:500px;overflow-y:scroll\"(remove the \ out of the code example)

Hyper-V 2012 R2 - Fixed Size VHDX Have VMs Paused Due to Disk Space Shortage

I am running Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 (Server Core). I have an SSD boot drive and a 10 Tb Storage Space HDD (Double Pairty - RAID6) where all VMs are stored.
I have one VM setup with an expanding VHDX file. It is setup with thin provisioning for 2 Tb and about 1.5 Tb is currently used. The VM paused due to physical disk space (SS drive) being low. I turned off this VM and tried to start a different
VM that has two fixed size VHDX files (also on the SS drive). This second VM would not start either. I got the same error message, as occurred on the first VM, about the physical disk space being low. There was about 10-20 Mb of physical
space left of my SS HDD when these errors occurred.
Given the first VM is setup with an expanding VHDX that makes sense to me that at some point there may not be enough physical disk space for the VM to expand and continue to run.
But given my second VM is using a fixed VHDX it doesn't make sense to me that I cannot get this VM to start. Even if the Storage Space disk were completely full I would expect this VM to be able to start?
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
Theokrat

Hi Theokrat,
"The HDD was setup with approximately 5 Tb storage pool as double parity."
"My first VM has a 4 Tb fixed VHDX. Thus there was only about
1 Tb free space left for the second VM."
"And for the VMs I'm asking about I set up those options to point to my HDD which is the D drive."
So, there are two VMs (the first VM has 4TB disk , the
second VM has 1TB disk )and all of the VMs' files
are stored on the 5TB HDD (the 1TB VHDx is dynamical) .
You turned off the second VM when it was paused due to lacking of disk space (before this the first VM is off ).
When you start the first VM , it still can not start and the error arose again ,right ?
If there is no any other factor led to disk usage increasing , I think the issue might be the startup memory of first VM is larger than or equal to the second VM's .
Please try to check that , if it is true , you can try to set lower memory for the first VM then start it again .
Best Regards

How to set fixed size for inputfile text field

Hi all,
I am using inputfile component to test file uploading so I created a simple upload page. When I finished upload the file, the input text field will "shrink" its size and change the size to adjust the file name. Is there any way to set a fix size for input text field?
Here is some part of the code:
<af:form id="f1" usesUpload="true">
<af:panelHeader text="File Uploader" id="ph1">
<af:inputFile label="File to upload" id="if1" autoSubmit="true" valueChangeListener="#{fileBean.fileUpdate}"
value="#{fileBean.file}" partialTriggers="if1"
columns="50"/>
</af:panelHeader>
<af:commandButton text="Save" id="cb1"/>
FileBean:
public void fileUpdate(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
RichInputFile inputFileComponent = (RichInputFile)valueChangeEvent.getComponent();
UploadedFile newFile = (UploadedFile)valueChangeEvent.getNewValue();
UploadedFile oldFile = (UploadedFile)valueChangeEvent.getOldValue();
Thanks,
Jerry

you can set columns attribute in af:inputfile. Please see highlighted area i have inserted to you code
<af:form id="f1" usesUpload="true">
<af:panelHeader text="File Uploader" id="ph1" columns = "34" >
<af:inputFile label="File to upload" id="if1" autoSubmit="true" valueChangeListener="#{fileBean.fileUpdate}"
value="#{fileBean.file}" partialTriggers="if1"
columns="50"/>
</af:panelHeader>
<af:commandButton text="Save" id="cb1"/>

How to set a fixed size window, so that moving 2D pictures wouldnt go off?

Hi
I dont if this question has been asked or no & also not sure if its right to be posted here as my problem is a java 2D graphics problem in swing environment.
I want to know is how can i set the window to a fixed size with boundaries such that my graphics 2D picture in the swing window will not go off the edges of window when i do some transformations with the 2D picture.
For e.g:
so far ive got a frame window of size 350 by 350 with my 2D picture inside it made up of shapes etc...
when i apply some transformation to it (moving it) for a distance it goes disappeared off window beyond 350 and will come back if i move it back.
So how do i restrict the window so that when picture reaches the edge, it will not be able to move any further?
Do i set some specific bounds to the JFrame?
i hope i've explained it properly
Thanks

In a 2D coordinate system the horizontal values are represented by some letter, usually x. In the same coordinate system the vertical values are classically represented by y.
Note: In your code, if you wish, you can replace x and y with anything you desire--p and q or perhaps jeff and alice or any variable name you wish, but for simplicity, and usually ease of understanding because almost everyone has had 100's of math problems drilled into their head with (x, y), x and y are used as convention.
In Java the screen coordinates run from 0 to the width-1 for x and 0 to height-1 for y of the component you are using to display.
So logically when you have a value of x or y that goes beyond the addressable bounds of your display, then you have to make some type of adjustment--when your value dips below 0, you reset it to 0, when your value goes above what ever width-1 or height-1 then you have to set that value to width-1 or height-1.
This all assumes that when you hit the wall, floor, or ceiling you stick there until you change directions--if you wish to wrap then you set your value to the opposite bound--so if you go below 0, you would then pop out back in on the right side--your appropriate x would be set to width-1 instead of 0 and in the case of y going below 0 your y would be set to height-1. This is also to say that when you descend below your minimum, then you would pop back out on the opposite side you went out on--so x greater then width-1 would get set to 0 and y greater than height-1 would get set to 0.
That is not even a start on if you want to include elastic collisions, angle of impact, any type of deceleration force, or anything else.
In any case... I would recommend that you add more math to your studies, I've never met an engineer or computer science grad that said: "Wow, I really regret taking all that math in college (or HS), I never use it."

Fixed Size Thread Pool which infinitely serve task submitted to it

Hi,
I want to create a fixed size thread pool say of size 100 and i will submit around 200 task to it.
Now i want it to serve them infinitely i.e once all tasks are completed re-do them again and again.
public void start(Vector<String> addresses)
      //Create a Runnable object of each address in "addresses"
       Vector<FindAgentRunnable> runnables = new Vector<FindAgentRunnable>(1,1);
        for (String address : addresses)
            runnables.addElement(new FindAgentRunnable(address));
       //Create a thread pool of size 100
        ExecutorService pool = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(100);
        //Here i added all the runnables to the thread pool
         for(FindAgentRunnable runnable : runnables)
                pool.submit(runnable);
            pool.shutdown();
}Now i wants that this thread pool execute the task infinitely i.e once all the tasks are done then restart all the tasks again.
I have also tried to add then again and again but it throws a java.util.concurrent.RejectedExecutionException
public void start(Vector<String> addresses)
      //Create a Runnable object of each address in "addresses"
       Vector<FindAgentRunnable> runnables = new Vector<FindAgentRunnable>(1,1);
        for (String address : addresses)
            runnables.addElement(new FindAgentRunnable(address));
       //Create a thread pool of size 100
        ExecutorService pool = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(100);
        for(;;)
            for(FindAgentRunnable runnable : runnables)
                pool.submit(runnable);
            pool.shutdown();
            try
                pool.awaitTermination(Long.MAX_VALUE, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
            catch (InterruptedException ex)
                Logger.getLogger(AgentFinder.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}Can anybody help me to solve this problem?
Thnx in advance.

How to make Navigation and Topic panes scroll independently?

Can anyone suggest how to make the default Multiscreen HTML layout navigation and topic panes to scroll independently, to accomidate a long index or TOC? Currently, scrolling toward the end of the index, for example, causes the topic pane to scroll also. Selecting an index entry scrolls the topic to the location of the appropriate content, but also scroll the index, taking the selected entry out of view. I would like independent scrolling of nav pane and topic panes.
I'm using RoboHelp HTML 10, FrameMaker 11, TCS4.
Thanks you.

Fixing Size of Column in Cross Tab

Plz tell me how to fix Size of column.in my case the data in column is not fixed so the output in PDF shows different size of Columns.I want want to fix them.
plz help
thanks in advance

You can call (on your table) getColumnModel().getColumn(i).setWidth(), but that information is lost once you call tableStructureChanged in your table model. To solve this problem I use my own TableModel, which sets the with of the columns every time they are created:
public class MColumnModel extends DefaultTableColumnModel {
     private int [] widths;
    public MColumnModel(int[] widths) {
          super();
          this.widths = widths;
     public TableColumn getColumn(int index) {
          TableColumn column = super.getColumn(index);
          if (column == null)
               return column;
          column.setPreferredWidth(metaWidths [index]);
          return column;
}Be sure to call setColumnModel before you call setModel on your table.
The widths are relative. If you want to set absolute widths, you have to call
               table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);Regards
