Header of a CHM file displayed as HTML Help

Hi,
I have an issue w.r.t the title bar of the chm files for Japanese, Chinese and Russian languages.
As per Adobe support team advice, whenever I have to work on Japanese, Chinese and Russian languages, I am changing the system language setting to the respective language.
As per the settings, I am successfully generating the required chm output. (Correct title of the project is displayed).
When I revert back to English langugae settings, the title bar of the chm file is displayed as HTML Help.
please let me know how the issue can be resolved.
NOTE: I am not able to upload or insert images related to the above issue. The system is diplaying an error.

Hi Muralidhar,
This is because the title for the browser is set to be NewWindow under Windows properties. To change this, please go to—
Project Set-up pod – Window—Right click and Select properties of the Window that you have applied here (in your screenshot, it says ”<None>”)
I believe you have either removed the Window or not applied it from the screen below.
Under your Webhelp Pro/Flash help Pro, you choose the same Window
Let me know if this works.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Complied chm file displays 'HTML help' on the title bar instead of the window name

Complied chm file displays 'HTML help' on the title bar instead of the window name.
I tried several ways like:
1. Changed File>Project settings name and also set the language to English (US).
2. Checked the Title name in .hhp file
3. Used the window while compling.
4. Robohelp language settings.
5. Also uninstalled and reinstalled robophelp.
But nothing helped
The title name is displayed correctly if the same project is compiled on another machine.

When the code in the HHP and the regional settings on a PC match, the correct title is displayed. Or other way around is also true the help title is displayed in the language specified in the help project IF (and only if) the regional settings of the PC match that language. Otherwise, "HTML Help" is displayed.
Hope this help.
Thanks and Regards,

I am using Acrobat Professional on WinXP and Firefox.
This is the first time I tried to convert a saved html file to pdf and it works. However the converted file have the html pagename at the header and the filename, location, date created at the footer of every page. Is there a way to set the conversion settings to not display these information in the comverted pdf file?
Thanks.

Can .chm files link to .html files?

Hi,
I'm using RoboHelp X5 and cannot find a way to link from a
.chm file to an .htm page. It seems like it should be simple,
but.....
Is this a known issue, software limitation, or am I missing
something? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
:) Kathy

Kathy,
A couple of items.
In linking to an external .htm file it is useful to use the
parser function to find it. This is documented in the Help Workshop
help file. I've never had any trouble with using it for external
files.
Secondly, the compiler is fickle and wants to be smarter than
you so if you link to an external file it just might include that
file in the compiled project, thinking you want it there. Of
course, you don't. You just put it in the project directory to test
it. So, what you get is a version of your .htm file compiled into
the help, which defeats the purpose of having it external so it can
be edited outside of the help. I think this is a Microsoft design
flaw, but someone might think it is a great feature.

Topics not displayed in HTML Help after importing bilingual (Eng, Simp Chinese) word doc

Hi all:
I imported a bilingual (English, Simplified Chinese) word
document (Windows XP) into Robohelp and split topics based on
Headings. This was successful and I could see both English and
Chinese characters in the topic sections.
When I generated HTML Help and reviewed the output, the TOC
was displayed properly, but the topics could not be found for all
topics in the TOC.
I had installed the language packages in Windows XP.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I wonder if this is nothing to do with language but because
you are viewing the CHM across a network.
If that is the case, see this article.

Customizing a .chm file for a customer

Currently using RoboHelp 7 HTML (WebHelp)
We have a customer that is requesting the customization of the help file. I believe, but have not confirmed that our client server version of help was written using RoboHelp v5. I'm being asked by our consultant what the level of effort would be by us (me - rookie) or the customer (possibly more of a rookie if this is even fathomable).
The next question is that when this customer migrates to the web version of our product what happens to the customized help?
Thanks for any help,
Renee

Hi Renee
Sorry, but we need a teensy bit of clarification here.
The thread title refers to customizing a CHM file. Microsoft HTML Help. I'm not sure though about the next bit where you say you are using RoboHelp 7 HTML (WebHelp). Are you saying that WebHelp is your primary layout? If so, where does the CHM come into play?
You said:
We have a customer that is requesting the customization of the help file. I believe, but have not confirmed that our client server version of help was written using RoboHelp v5.
I'm guessing this means you are using WebHelp? (The "client server" phrasing is throwing me a bit.)
So until we know the answer to those questions, we can't really offer a meaningful answer.
Cheers... Rick

HTML Help and Vista

I created a .chm file from RoboHelp HTML Help that
works/displays fine on Windows XP Pro OS. The same file will not
display correctly on Vista. The wrapper and TOC are fine, but the
actual HTML pages do not display (receive a "The address is not
valid" error).
Is anyone else having this problem? I assumed since they are
just HTML pages they would display on any OS.
Thanks for your input!!!

Hi AnnieTechWriter and welcome to our community
Are you running the .CHM off a network drive in Vista? If so,
I would think the same rules apply there as with other versions of
Windows.
Click
here to read more about that.
Assuming you aren't, have you tried right clicking the .CHM
and looking at the properties? Maybe it's treating it like XP does
when you download one from the web. If you do that, you normally
have to right-click and look at the properties and click a button
labeled "Unblock".
Cheers... Rick

HtmlHelp doesn't display my chm file for HH_DISPLAY_TOC

Hi there,
I have an MFC application to display a CHM help file
generated from
RoboHelp. I override WinHelp to map HELP_* macros to HH_*
macros such as
HELP_CONTENTS to HH_DISPLAY_TOC and HELP_CONTEXT to
HH_HELP_CONTEXT, and call
htmlhelp API to open the CHM file. At runtime,
HH_HELP_CONTEXT works because
pressing F1 key does bring up the CHM file. However,
selecting 'Contents'
menu item in 'Help' menu of main menubar has nothing
happened. The CHM file
doesn't appear. I noticed that HH_DISPLAY_TOC definition in
htmlhelp.h has
the following line:
"#define HH_DISPLAY_TOC 0x0001 // not currently implemented"
It comments as not currently implemented. However, I didn't
find any clue in
MSDN to indicate it not currently implemented.
Does anyone have any clue on the problem and any workaround?
Thank you

I should preface this by saying I am not a programmer ;-) ,
but I had this exact issue with our software program. We could not
get the Help to be called from the menu. We create the software gui
using Delphi 2005 and we use HTMLHelpViewer2005 to get Delphi to
recognize the .CHM file.
This is the code that our programmer ended up using:
htmlhelp( MenuMainForm.Handle, 'path\ourhelp.chm',
HH_HELP_FINDER, 0);
path\ourhelp.chm would be the location of your .CHM file :-)
I hope that helps you in some way, have faith because it can
be done ...
Thanks,
~Jessica

Html help file not initialized.

I have generated a help-file for a form and the file is fine.
The Content_id is set, and I have generated the form again.
I4ve set the help preference to HTML, and the code for the key help is added as follows:
BEGIN
     CGHP$CALL_HTML_HELP(
          'CG_FORM_HELP',
          'IZI.htm',
          'c:\appl\fmb\',
          '_blank',
          'IZI3020F',
          :SYSTEM.CURSOR_BLOCK,
          :SYSTEM.CURSOR_ITEM);
     message('passes here!');pause;
EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN
          CGTE$OTHER_EXCEPTIONS;
     message('error!');pause;
END;
It doesn4t go to the exeption and seems to pass the message after the call to CALL_HTML_HELP. I have checked that the QMSLIB65 is attached before the OFGHLP lib and that is so!
I don4t have a clue as to what I4m doing wrong. Are there other preferences to be set, or are you not able to call the HTML from the network drive. Or should I set a different path or no path at all??
Thanks fo anyone who takes the time to try and help me!
Martijn!

Martijn,
Try setting the help preference to MS help instead of HTML help. I know this is counter-intuitive. :-)
Headstart forms do not use the native HTML help generated by designer, because this help relies on querying the help information from a database table. Rather, we override the CGHP$CALL_MS_HELP procedure to display the html help document.
You can look at the headstart demo application to see how this is done.

Lauri

Airplane help with Webhelp and HTML Help

Hi. We are generating 2 outputs using Robohelp v.6.0: HTML
Help and WebHelp. Standalone they both work fine. The context
sensitive .chm works too. Problems are:
1.) the primary help (Webhelp) does not appear - there isn't
any error msg either.
2.) when an invalid url is used the secondary help file does
appear (HTML help). But this doesn't happen with the correct url of
the primary help - Webhelp
Isn't there supposed to be a reference to the mapping in the
<head> of each htm file?
Can anyone help on this topic? many thanks!

First, move the styles from the form generator to the <head> of your document. Otherwise there is a possibility browsers could ignore the invalid code.
Then move your form div inside the banner div and set the attribute float:right; in your CSS for the form div. Then you should be good to go.

Internet Explorer Script Errors in HTML Help

I am using Robohelp 8 HTML. I create both WebHelp and Microsoft HTML Help. My operating system is Vista.
The WebHelp file will be directly called from the application software to allow users to access topic specific help.
The Microsoft HTML help is to be attached to my company's website to allow remote users to access our online help.
I have created a project and generated WebHelp. Everything works as designed.
However, when I change the output to Microsoft HTML Help, I get Internet Explorer Script Errors when I try to review the output.
The compiler seems to find exception with two specific lines, specifically, AddMasterBreadcrumbs and again, highlightSearch.
When I attempt to review the output, I can simply click No when queried if I want to continue running scripts on this page and display the HTML help. It works as it is designed. Naturally I would prefer my users won't have to click through a few error messages to get to the help.
If I comment these two lines out in the topics, I don't receive these errors.
Although my work-around will allow a user to open the project without seeing those Script Errors, I am concerned that it might be introducing errors that I haven't found yet.
Does anyone else experienced this type of error in producing HTML Help?
Does anyone know the reason this is happening and can they offer an actual solution (and not a workaround?)
Thanks so much!
10570Fan

I've attached one of the screen shots and I took the liberty of posting the htm file (so you can track the specific line numbers to which the error messages refer). The second error message is the same, except it refers to line 117.
I checked with the developers and they will use the WebHelp version. However, they are curious (as am I) why we get these error messages. Any suggestions you can provide will be appreciated.
Thanks again.

RH9-chm file Bug when clicking on a sub-topic heading on TOC.

Hi all,
Today I have a bug that I wonder whether someone working with Robohelp HTML 9 has or not.
In my TOC, I create book 1 and then create page 1, page 2 for this book. The book linked to topic Startup.htm. Page1 and page 2 linked to two different bookmarks in this topic. Then I generated the project to .chm file.
On the Content tab, expanded the book, and then clicked page 1 or page 2 to see its content.
In the first time, the content of the selected page was shown on the right pane, but the book was collapsed automatically. --> This is bug ?
I had to expand the book again, I clicked and clicked again on page 1, and page 2, that bug did not occur anymore.
Anyone used to in this situation, please help me the resolution. Thanks.

Hi there
From what I'm seeing I'm guessing the following items have been configured.
You are using the option to Single Click Books to expand them.
You are auto-synchronizing the displayed topic to the TOC.
Like Colum, I'm unable to duplicate the issue. I tried using both the 32 bit and the 64 bit versions of the HTML Help viewer. Neither version seemed to present the behavior you are describing.
However, I do note that when you have the setup enabled that you do, clicking any topic outside the book that is expanded will typically cause the Book to collapse. When you look at things in the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop, the option RoboHelp calls "Single Click to Open Books" is labeled differently. There, it is labeled "Only Expand a Single Heading". So the book collapsing is really sort of an expected behavior.
I might suggest the following changes. The changes I'm proposing *MAY* change the behavior.
Instead of pointing to bookmarks within the same topic that is linked to the book, duplicate the topic you linked to. Then remove the section you only want seen if they click the book itself. Link the pages of the TOC to the new topic. Additionally, you would want to edit the topic you link to the pages so that the part the book itself links to is removed.
My thought is that perhaps your odd behavior is stemming from the fact that your book and the pages inside are really linking to the same topic, just at different places. Perhaps something about that situation is confusing the HTML Help Viewer. And that triggers another thought. If it's a bug, it's not a RoboHelp bug but a bug in the HTML Help Viewer that is manifesting. And RoboHelp can't fix a Microsoft bug. Heck, even Microsoft isn't likely to fix it at this stage.
Cheers... Rick

Heading style customizations not reflected in HTML Help file

I wanted to share a solution I found for a problem with heading styles. I am using RoboHelp 9 for Word with Office 2010 and generating an HTMLHelp .chm file. When I migrated from Office 2003 to 2010 and RoboHelp 8 to 9, I customized the RoboHelp.docm template file to change the heading styles to have an orange border line over the header. (I had made the customizations in RH 8 for Word, but couldn't transfer the customization to the new template, so I did it by hand). The border line came out black in the header file in most of my topics in the .chm help file. I found one Word doc had topics with the orange line displayed correctly in the help and discovered that that heading style had Style Type = Linked, so I went to each of my Word docs and changed my Heading 1 style to use that style type and it fixed it for all my heading styles.
In Word 2010, you can change this from the Home tab, Styles ribbon. Rt-click on the Heading 1 style and choose Modify. In the Modify Style dialog set Style type to Linked (paragraph and character).

Thanks for sharing!

RoboHelp HTML 9 - CHM file The Back button works uncorrectly.

Dear all,
I am using RH HTML 9 to generate chm file from my project. The problem is when I click on topic 1, topic 2, topic 3 in turn in the Content pane. After that I click the Back button three times, topic 2 is highlighted on the Content pane, although the content of the topic 1 is displayed on the right pane. I think the topic 1 should be highlighed on the Content pane. Is it a bug of Microsoft HTML Help ?
Please help me understand what Microsoft HTML Help does in generating .chm within RoboHelp 9 ?
Thank you.

RoboHelp HTML 9 - CHM file Lost focus on selected topic on Content tab.

Dear all,
In my generated CHM file, I click on a topic on the Content tab, then I click anywhere in the content displayed on the right pane. The selected topic on the Content tab then not highlighted anymore. Why it happens like that ?
Anyone please help me explain this case and guide me solve that problem.
Thank a lot.
P.

Hi there
There are a couple of options you likely need to configure.
First, Click View > Pods > Project Set up and look at the Window properties for your CHM.
Note the options I've highlighted below:
Next, Click View > Pods > Single Source Layouts and right-click the Microsoft HTML Help layout.
Choose Properties and look at the Single Source Layout properties for your CHM file. Once you examine them, click the Edit button next to "Advanced Settings".
The HTML Help Advanced Settings dialog shoul open. Click the TOC Styles tab.
From there, ensure you have the option I've highlighted below.
Hopefully this helps... Rick
