How to add to JDev help?

Can I extend the standard JDev help to include extra API documentation, such as the Mail API doco?

No, not directly but several indirect ways.
Let me explain.
The online help system for JDeveloper is available in two flavors:
HTML Help (Compressed *.chm files)
To view this version of the online help, you must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher installed on your machine. This documentation is packaged in compressed *.chm files. It offers full-text search capabilities.
**** Because we use compressed CHUM (*.chm) files, it is not possible for you to add your Chum files (even if you had them) to the JDeveloper set.
WebHelp (Regular HTML files)
This documentation is packaged in uncompressed *.html files. Note that if you are installing onto a FAT file system (rather than to NTFS), you may need a large amount of disk space because the documentation consists of a large number of small files. The actual disk requirement will depend upon the size of the hard drive and of the sector.
To add your own help files, you need:
1. Help Viewer
2. Help Documentation
3. Link from JDeveloper or Start menu to the help system.
You must choose a help viewer (#1) and this will dictate the format of your Help Documentation (#2).
To get JDeveloper to invoke your help system,
you can do one of several things:
1. You can add a menu to the JDeveloper Tools menu simply by editing the [Jdev]\bin\Tools.cfg and inserting a help invocation line in this file.
2. You can do a similar thing but make the invocation as a link from your windows Start menu (probably in the JDeveloper folder)
3. You can write an Addin and add the help system to any other location other then the tools menu (e.g. the Help menu).
So, although you can not link directly into the JDeveloper help system, this is not as much of a restriction as it may seem.
I hope this helps,

  • How to add a search help for a field in Screen Personas?

       I just started learning to use a Screen Personas, and I want to know how to add a search help for a field.
       I found a property in the help document named "IsLookupSupported". Is it the key?  But I saw it was gray in the field I created, and its value is "false". I could not change it.

    Hi, Tamas,
    I found the reason. The function Z_WEBRFC_READ_DATA_SH had a string concatenation error.
    CONCATENATE '{"results":[{"key": "shlpname", "value": "' l_shlp '"},"key": "fieldname", "value": "' l_field '"}]}' INTO htmldoc-line.
    The correct code is like:
    CONCATENATE '{"results":[{"key": "shlpname", "value": "' l_shlp '"},{"key": "fieldname", "value": "' l_field '"}]}' INTO htmldoc-line.
    Another question is, I can't get any words in Chinese from WebRFC. It returns error when I try it. How can I configure it?

  • How to add the custom help exit to search help in SE11

    Hi All,
    I am trying to add the ZF4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE to search help exit in SE11 for search help LART . But system is asking for the access key.
    Is there any way we can achieve this with out using access key?
    Please suggest me.
    Regards
    Subhaskar

    Hi,
         To add a Search help exit goto SE11 -> in Search help option enter 'LART' -> click on display.
    once you have entered in you will have to click on change button. This will give on information message first, then it will ask if you have to maintain in the original language itself(only if you have logged in with any language other than DE). You can select your option in that then you will be able to view the same in EDIT mode. now you can go ahead and add your search help exit.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • How to add a search help on a screen field from screen painter

    Hi,
    I would like to add an existing Search Help on a screen field in Screen painter.
    Of course it's possible to just click on th screen field and in the property box, I just have to set the name of teh search help.
    The problem is that I need the screen field to be grey and user musn't be able to change the field value if he doens't use the search help.
    I'm not allowed to modify the existing search help or to built it on my own from source code, I must use the existing one.
    Do you have an idea on how to do so?
    Regards,
    Morgan

    Dropdown Box:
    In the screen painter for that field goto properties -> Dropdown ->select listbox.
    Option 1:
    Instead let that field be in change mode and if user enters any wrong entry which is not there in the table give a error messgae.
      CHAIN.
        FIELD addr1_data-country.
        MODULE modify_screenfields1.
      ENDCHAIN.
    MODULE modify_screenfields1 INPUT.
      CASE sy-ucomm.
        WHEN 'ENTER' OR 'EXECUTE'.
          IF NOT addr1_data-country IS INITIAL.
            SELECT SINGLE landx FROM t005t INTO lws_landx WHERE
                                          land1 = addr1_data-country
                                      AND spras = 'EN'.
            IF sy-subrc <> 0.
              MESSAGE e000(zo_spa) WITH text-022.  " Invalid Country code
            ELSE.
              t005t-landx = lws_landx.
            ENDIF.
          ELSE.
            CLEAR: t005t-landx.
          ENDIF.
       ENDCASE.
    ENDMODULE.                 " modify_screenfields1  INPUT
    Option 2: Other than if u want the way u like, let that field be greyed out. don't attach the search help.
    In the PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
      FIELD addr1_data-region MODULE region_pov.
    MODULE region_pov INPUT.
    Using the F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST table value request show the search help.
    also make that field input enabled.
    ENDMODULE.                 " region_pov  INPUT
    I think this will solve ur problem.

    Prakash.

  • How to add search help for field in ALV object

    Hello,
    In a program, we use ALV object ( container) to create a liste like : field1, field2 .. but when display we do not have search help for this . Could you please help me how to add match code in this case for field 1 and field2, We use set_table_for_first_display
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    when you define your field catalogue you can create data elements with search help in se11 and use them for field 1 and field 2.
    But maybe it is enough to use data elements belonging to a domain with a value help and to set field F$AVAILABL in the field catalogue or to fill the name of the field CHECKTABLE.

  • Help:  How to add a library item to hide the default Window menu

    Hi,
    In this post: Help: How to add a library item to hide the default Window menu, it described how to create an menu that will hide the default window menu.
    I'd like to know if there a way to put this component into library so that others can directly inherit this menu in other FORMS and how to implement it.
    Jimmy

    Hi,
    I found the solution and the post was not properly phrased. There is no need to add menu into library. All we need is to put the compiled menu into Oracle AS and add the menu name the menu module of the given form.
    Thanks.

  • Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one.  Thank you.

    Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one.  Thank you.

    iTunes Match is a subscription system that allows you to upload your own music (e.g. coped from CDs) to the cloud so that it shows (in the cloud) on your devices and computers without having to sync/copy it.
    Automatic downloads allows to, for example, buy an app on your computer's iTunes and have it automatically download on your phone without having to connect and sync it or go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your download and download it yourself - but doing that, going to the Purchased tab and redownloading an app, should get it associated.
    But no, I'm not aware of any problems that not having it associated causes.
