Open a Windows help file from a Java application

Help!!! Final project due Wednesday. Our project was to re-create the Windows 2k calculator, which we pretty well did, with the exception of accessing the help file. I think I am close but not sure how to deal with the compiled HTML files that Windows uses for its help utilities. The following code makes the calculator itself pop up.
public void helpFilePopUp ()
try
String command = "calc";
Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
catch (IOException e)
System.out.println("Object not found.");
}//end of method
Thanks in advance A.

Maybe I didn't understand your problem correctly.
If you just want to start the windows help with the calculator helpfile then your command should look like
"WINHLP32.EXE c:\windows\help\calc.hlp" and not "calc".

Windows Help File

Is it possible to use Windows help files in a LabView 5 Vi? I want to make
a help button in my LabView application. How do I connect the button to a
help-file. Can this by done directly in LabView or do I have to create a
code node which calls the help file?

Yes.
NI provide some Windows utilities that can help you with this. One of the VI's is precisely "Call WinHelp.vi". You can download these utility VIs from the following link:

How Do I create Windows Form file in VS and add the form to my VS project?

C#, How Do I create Windows Form file in VS and add the form file to my VS project by using C# code?
I like to create a Windows Form file into my VS Win Form project by using C#. I have the path and the file name.
I need a Win Form with FileName.cs, FileName.Designer.cs, FileName.resx, and FileName (as you see it VS by adding a Win Form manually by using VS)
Rune Brattas

You cannot create a Form from code at run time.
For one thing, the user running your application will, almost certainly, not have a copy of Visual Studio to hand with which to build anything. (Not that you actually need 'Studio at all; Notepad and csc.exe are all you actually
need), but that's another story).
You can do this with an awful lot of pain, using the innards of the compiler from iside your own program, compiling the new Form's source code on the fly and then executing the resulting assembly within your application. IMHO, that's a simply terrifying
prospect especially as the code you will be compiling will be on someone else's machine and over which you will have absolutely no control. If you're lucky, they'll spell something wrong and it won't compile.
The "usual" way to do this sort of thing is to create additional, "plug-in" forms as library assemblies and have your program load and execute these at run-time.

WIndows Help files on a mac

Hi there,
I've recently switched from windows to mac. I've a number of reference books that I had got set up as windows help files - easy to search and all the rest of it. Is there any way that those can be made to run on a mac, other than using virtual PC?
Is there some sort of standard format to help files?
Cheers
Mark

Hi Mark,
I don't know about the Windows application that is used to open your help files,
but first idea that comes to mind:
- Is it possible to convert them as .pdf files?
.pdf is the most common format that can be used on both platforms.
You'd have to do that on your Windows machine, using a file format converter (can be part of your OS, can be a freeware, part of the "Help program", or by other means that Windows users most probably know).
See also with Graphic Converter, if by chance the format can be converted from your Mac.

How to use javap with jar files ?

As long as the jar is on the class path, your gold. So,
javap -classpath myjar.jar mypackage.MyClass

How do you have the help file .chm hold its window position when the user resizes the help window.

One of my customers is complaining that the help contents will scroll out of view when the window is resized. Is there a way to anchor the position while the window is resized?

My CHM is a help file for an application. The application uses F1 to open specific topics for help. Therefore the help file needs to be visible but not cover the application to much. The Content in this situation is text however the help project contains Images, tables, text, etc.
If the user searches for the word "audio" in the search and it takes them to a section or sub topic that is half way down in the Topic, they would like that section or subtopic to stay in the same place as they resize the help window. Using Bookmarks if the topic is large enough clicking the search link will place the results in the top left of the doc view window, however this is not necessarily the top of the topic.
Im not sure how else to explain what the user is seeing, sorry.
Please explain "Also whether it remains consistent depends on whether an absolute or percentage value has been added to it."

How to use Sharepoint 2013 img file

Hi,
I downloaded Sharepoint 2013 as an img file. I am trying to install it on VMWare 5.1 which only accepts ISO files. How can I convert the img file to ISO or what other workarounds are available?
I already tried renaming the file to ISO, but it didn't work.
Thanks

Hi WaelS,
If you want to use img file in VMWare, you may need to convert the img file to ISO, as VMWare doen't support img file.
Please do as the followings to convert the img file to iso:
1. Unzip the files
2. Open a command prompt (Start > Run > type cmd, press Enter)
3. Browse to the folder where the unzipped files are (cd "c:\Windows ISO Files")
4. Considering that you are in the folder containing the files command prompt, type
       copy /b file1+file2+file3+file4+file5 file.iso
4a. Check that the files have no extension. If they have, the command changes to something like:
       copy /b file1.ext+file2.ext+file3.ext+file4.ext+file5.ext file.iso
4b. If there aren't *any* other files in the folder, typing this should be enough:
       copy /b *.* dvd_file.iso
If you still have question about the issue, I suggest you can post a thread in corresponding forum, you will get more helpful information from there.

Renaming extracted Single windows IDcs5 documents using a windows CSV-file

I'm not a scripter and I'm in need of a script that will rename extracted single pages using a column from a windows CSV-file to name each InDesign file accordingly. I have search the forums but all I can find is a Renaming extracted single pdf pages as in this post http://forums.adobe.com/message/4633533#4633533#4633533 I've been told that I could adjust such scripting but I don't know how. I will like to acomplish the same but Exporting single InDesing pages. Does anyone has a script that can be share on how to do such thing? Either through ID or using Bridge?

The link highlighted in your post splits a large PDF into single page PDFs based on a csv/txt file within Acrobat - it isn't an InDesign Script.
There is an indesign script you can try and it is written by Loic Aigon: go to http://www.loicaigon.com/en/pdf-exports-properly-named/ read the article and see if it is appropriate for you.
There is another indesign script you can try but it is in german. See the adobe forum post http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1014766 for more information.
Hope this helps

How to use a packaged Jar File?

Greetings to everyone reading this post!
I have a query about a thing that seems to be basic but I don't know how to accomplish, here it goes:
I have packaged a Simple application into a Jar file. this application contains a package like this:
lib.demo, inside this package I have a Class named MyClass with some simple methods like this one:
public void sayHi(String name){
//implementation here
}Now, I would like to Know how to use the Method sayHI(String name) from an entirely different Project. I have successfully included the Jar File as a Library(in the new Project), but I have I no Clue on How to invoke a Class inside my Jar library, and more Importantly, a method.
Could anybody help me?

if the "project" (not a Java-related system, it's IDE-specific) already includes the JAR file in its classpath (library), then all you need is to import the package/class and invoke the method, as such:
// in your client code:
import lib.demo.*;         // or, import lib.demo.MyClass;
public class Test {
public void inAMethod() {
    MyClass myC = new MyClass();
    myC.sayHi("say hi");
}simple.

How can I remove a help file frameset that I mistakenly attached to a specific topic?

I'm using RH7 HTML to update a client's help file that was developed in RH5. The help file opens with an initial topic (Welcome to...) using the frameset that was built for the help file.
In adding a new section to this help file, I somehow linked the help file frameset to one of the new topics. In this new topic's properties, the topic title now shows as the frameset name, but the file name is still the name of the original topic.
I've recreated the new topic and the frameset attaches to it as well.
1. How can I disconnect the frameset from the topic without affecting the entire help file? If so, how?
2. If this isn't possible, is there any other way I can correct this problem?
Thanks!!

How about a screenshot of the relevant portion of the help output (just the upper left quadrant?). I just can't figure what the issue is, sorry.
Save it as a file, and attach that image to your reply, using the little camera thingie.
Good luck,
Leon

How to develop a windows find files like utility in java

hi,
I am writing a java program that provides the same functionality as provided by the Windows find files option. is there some windows dll or something like that i can use thru JNI or is there some better solution?
any help will be appreciated.
regards

If your program has to be portable, I think it would be better to develop Java code in order to search through file system.
I think you should develop objects that allows to filter files (implementing FileFilter interface) and return a list of the found files to your graphical objects.
You can use the java.io.File.listFiles(FileFilter) method to retrieve a list of files from a given directory.
Write several FileFilter classes (and why not FilenameFilter classes) to provide different way of filtering. Each of those will be used with the listFiles method.
But do not forget that the way you write your filefilters will change the performance of your program.
There is also another problem you might encounter : File Access Rights. If your file system contains file restrictions, the listFiles method may throw SecurityException (if a SecurityManager is created) or return null (if no SecurityManager is set).

How to know when Windows support files are updated? (BC 4)

I have MacBook Pro Retina w/Lion (of course), installed Win 7 Pro 64-bit, using Boot Camp procedures and files that were issued June 14. My BootCamp Assistant says it's 4.0.4.
My question is: how do I know when the Windows Support files (drivers) are updated by Apple? I would have expected an update by now, but I just went into Boot Camp Assistant on Lion, re-downloaded the drivers, and I *think* they are all dated June 14th still. (looked in WindowsSupport folder which is where it said it downloaded them)
There doesn't seem to be a reasonable way to get notified if there are new drivers or not.
My expectation was that I could run *something* either on the Windows or OS X side, and it would *tell me* that drivers needed updating, or at least say "you are running version X".
It can't be that I have to re-download the drivers and check the dates on all the files every time I'm curious if there's updates available. Can it?
The files seem to be on some mysterious Apple server and the only thing I can do to that server is ask to download the support files. No query, no "is an update available", ... ???
It's not even clear to me that the Windows Support files have a version number.

When the next revsion of OS X you can run Boot Camp Assistant again, or of course once 10.8 though might want to just sit tight, you would likely see reports in forums and elsewhere.
Apple Software Update for Windows use to but no longer.
