Regarding Help File

Hi All,
I used the following code for showing the help of user form. Means when i run user form through .Net it shows in SAP and when i will press F1 then it shows help of that user form. It works fine.
But in my .CHM help file i have two or more form information in that file. I want suppose i wil open first form i want display help of that perticular form from that file and when i wil open second i want to desplay help of second form from that file. How i show help of perticular form from .CHM file.
If pVal.MenuUID = "275" And pVal.BeforeAction = True Then
                If SBO_Application.Forms.ActiveForm.TypeEx = "ChkRdo" Then
                    Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo()
                    psi.UseShellExecute = True
                    psi.FileName = "C:\Documents and Settings\Harish Patil\Desktop\Checkbox and Option button\ChkOpt\ChkOpt\New HTML Help.chm"
                    Process.Start(psi)
                    BubbleEvent = False
                End If
            End If
Thanks and Regards,

Regarding Help File *F1*

Dear Experts,
I have Facing Problem while pressing "F1"
The following error massage comes
Navigation to the webpage was canceled
What you can try:
Retype the address.
Thanks & Regard

HI
Check that you can access the help file. If it has not worked before you will need to doenload it. You may choose to have a help file per client of a shared help file.
This can be set from the B1 Client under Help pulldown menu / Document settings.
There are lots of config issues that can come in to play, especially windows permissions
You should search the forum as this will have been posted many times before.

Regarding Help file style

Hi all,
I am new to RoboHelp. We created "Application Help" project and generated .chm file sucessfully.Every thing is working fine with generated help file.
Check the MicrosoftWord2007 help file by click on F1.My client wants the same look and feel with my help file.
Does any one know if it is possible to generate the same look & feel help file with Adobe RoboHelp. If yes what type of project should i select from the availabe projects list and how can we generate?.
Any suggestions would be appreciated....

Hi madhubmk and welcome to the RH community.
I dare say most of what MS offers could be achieved by RH. Bare in mind that MS can afford to throw resources into their help documentation to come up with a heavilly customised look and feel. That is something that most places can only dream of. MS help uses a customised window, lots of DHTML drop downs, custom icons, etc. all of which can be handled by RH. I'd go back to the client and get them to highlight exactly which elements they like and then go from there.

How do I transfer a music file (song) from iTunes list to my iPOD? The Apple help files do not make any sense in this regard.

How do I transfer a song from itunes to my ipod (they are connected). The Apple help files are truly pathetic in this fundamental function.
For example they say click on the "summary" button ... I find no summary button anywhere on my screen. How's that for a confidence builder?

This talks about iTunes 10, but it should work the same way in iTunes 11. Transferring purchases for an iDevice to your Mac.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2554
It should be File>Devices>Transfer Purchases, I think
You must be using the same Apple ID in iTunes on your Mac that your son is using on the Mini or the movie will not transfer.

How can I open help file (HTML or .chm) from Java Web Start (new to JAVA)

Hi All,
Im trying to open the help file of my application.
When trying to access the help file from the GUI (pressing F1 for launching the help file), I'm geting the an error, something like:
"Can't show help URL: jar:file:C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\javaws\cache\http\Dlocalhost\P7001\DMwebstart\RMjar-name!/com/resources/helpFiles/MyHelpFile.html"
It seems that the file which is packed in a jar, was downloaded to the Java Web Start cache directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\javaws\cache\http\Dlocalhost\P7001\DMwebstart
The code which is activated when launching the help file is:
try
            ResourceBundle resourceBundle = DoubleResourceBundle.getBundle("Resource", "ResourceImpl");
            RuntimeUtil.launchFile(new File(resourceBundle.getString("help.file")));
        } catch (IOException e)
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }where the property "help.file" is in some property file in the resource bundle named "Resource", and looks like this :
help.file="com/trax/docs/help/global/MyHelpFile.html"
The function "RuntimeUtil.launchFile" knows how to launch any file in its default application, and indeed it does launches the html, when giving it an absolute path to the file on my PC, as "C:\Helpfiles\MyHelpFile.html" as such:
RuntimeUtil.launchFile("C:\Helpfiles\MyHelpFile.html");My question is :
The application is going to be deployed on a Customer PC. How can I access the html file from the code, with a relative path and not its absolute path on the customer pc, which I can't know?
I found these restrictions regarding web start:
(copied from "http://rachel.sourceforge.net/"):
*Rule 1: Java Archives only. No loose files.* All your resources have to be packaged in Java Archives (jar) if you want to have
them delivered to the user's machine and kept up-to-date automatically by Java Web Start.
*Rule 2: No file paths.* You can't use absolute or relative file paths to locate your
jars holding your resources (e.g. <code>jar:file:///c:/java/jws/.cache/resources.jar</code>).
Absolute file paths won't work because you never know where Java Web Start
will put your jar on the user's machine. Relative file paths won't work because Java Web Start
mangles the names of your jars (e.g. <code>venus.jar</code> becomes <code>RMvenus.jar</code>)
and every JNLP client implementation has the right to mangle your names
in a different way and you, therefore, can't predict the name with
which your jar will be rechristend and end up on the user's machine in
the application cache.Seems complex or impossible, to perform a simple task like opening a file.
Please advise (I'm new to Java and Web Start).
BTW, I'm working with IntelliJ IDEA 5.0.
Thanks,
Zedik.

"Navigation to the webpage was canceled
What you can try:

Can anyone please help me with this one as to why it is not working?
Thanks

Dear Jonathan,
Could you please try the following steps :-
o Change the Help Settings from 'Shared Folder' to 'Local
Installation' under Help => Help Settings.
o Business One will then look for the Help folder on the local B1
Client and not on the B1 Server.
o This will only work if the B1 Client has the Help folder locally
installed.
o If not this could be manually copied from SBO_SHR directory to
the client.
o Alternatively all the B1 Clients will need to be reinstalled.

Where can I find PDF Help files for CS5?

I have CS5 Design Standard ( without extended Photoshop) and I need to get the PDF help files for the component applications. I have tried entering CS5 Help Files and variations of that theme in the search box here at Adobe forums and get many things about CS6 and no Help files for CS5. The search tool here should be googleized or something. 2many adds for new things 2 buy not enough help for what you already bought.

Hi,
Here's another link for Ps CS5 PDF help:

No local help files for Photoshop CS6 extended

Hi
I wish to use local help files for Photoshop CS6 but only online support is available. Local files are not listed under the Adobe Help preferences. The option to search only local rather than online help is greyed out. I found and downloaded a PDF with of the help files but don't know where to install it or if this is possible. I have CS 5 Creative Suite and this works fine giving the option of local or online help when accessed.
Is there a way to install and use local help files in photoshop CS6?
Thank you.

Hi and thanks for directing me to that article, it should have done the trick. I am using mac mountain lion 10.8.5.
The help system has always operated oddly - I have Photoshop cs6 but also the cs5 master suite installed. CS5 works fine but Photoshop cs6 only gives the option for online help and then directs me to the CC site. There is no simple listing for just Photoshop help in the help menu - presumably as it is not seeing it installed
I tried various configurations in the article, having to set up the folders they suggested. In my case, in a variety of alternative places as I have a boot up volume with the documents folder moved onto a RAID array so the Shared folder is not in the documents folder but in Users on the boot drive. So - confusing - but tried all the likely candidates and folder configurations/locations while following the instructions as closely as possible. Even tried an documents folder alias to redirect the program to the alternative path way.
At least now I have the PDFs and can look through them outside the adobe interface. The problem with the community site being questions regarding photoshop alone, yield answers for all sort of other issues and programs.
Thanks for your help though, which should have worked, appreciated.

How to create a help file for a VI

I want to create a help file describing my VI. How do i do that by clicking a control. How do I store the help file.

Hi Mudda;
Assuming you are using Windows, with LabVIEW, you can create the necessary files to create a help file, but you can't create the help file. In order to create your help file, you need a WinHelp compiler.
Also, what LabVIEW allows you to do is to create a file that correspond to the documentation of you VI, so you need to fully document you VIs first.
To document you VI, go to File -> VI Properties and select "Documentation" from the menu. You can access the VI Properties also by Right-clicking the VI icon in the top-right corner of the Window. To document the controls and indicators in your VI, Right-click the control or indicator and select "Description and Tip...".
To create the documentation files, go to File -> Print. At some point
, you will have the option to select a Destination. Select "RTF File" to generate the files a WinHelp compiler understand.
As you will see too, you can also create html files for your VIs. It can be a good alternative for WinHelp files.
There are some nice Help editors outhere. I use HelpScribble. You can see a very simple help file I created with HelpScribble in my small projects VI Background Check and VIs for DeployMaster.

How to use online help instead of local help files?

I know that if I am looking for help in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, I can hit F1 or go to Help -> Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Help...
However, I do not like that doing that sends me to the limited help files that are stored on my local drive. I would like that link to default to the online help.
Is there any way to do that?
The real reason I want to do this is because I use Mozilla Firefox and tightly control the cookies that sites save on my computer. For sites that I trust, I simply add them to the whitelist. However, I am unable to add file:///C:etc.etc. to my whitelist, so I have to approve 5-8 cookies every time I go to another page within the help files. This is extremely annoying.
In regards to this local help default over internet help, Adobe has said:
The Help menu within the product opens local Help, a subset of the content available in online product Help. Because local Help is not as complete or up-to-date as online product Help, Adobe recommends that you use the PDF version of product Help if you want to stay off-line.
But what if I don't want to use the "subset of the content available in online product Help" and prefer to simply go to the online product Help just like every other Adobe CS4 product?

You could add a custom menu item to the Help menu that executes the following line of code:
// Acrobat 9 Pro Help
app.launchURL("http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/index.html");
See this tutorial for more information: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2006/add_custom_menu_items

Flash CS4 Help File Offline What Happened to Tag Defintions Showing UP?????

Ok I know I can set the help system to browse offline however
this doesn't work correctly for any less then ActionScript 3. When
you highlighted a word in the past such as "null" it use to pull up
the word and the info in all the books. Now all I see is a web
browser that doesn't do this for me. I mean who sits there at
adobe's end and thinks up of ways to slow someone down like this??
How can you remove the core help quick linking from the program.
Number 1 not everyone is on AS3 and some of us still have to update
AS2 code.
Bigspace ships has an air application that installed AS3 flex
reference but again useless unless you are on AS3. Has anyone found
another way to get this old school functionality to work on
CS4???

Jay Armstrong here. I’m one of the writers who works on
the Flash docs.
Regarding this comment and the many others in other threads
that have added important details about the issues with the help
workflow, and in particular the ActionScript help workflow: We hear
your pain and we are working to implement solutions to these
issues.
I understand that this new help workflow is more painful than
in CS3 when you had the Help right in its own panel in the product.
Here’s some background:
The implementation of Help within the Flash Help panel prior
to CS4 required that *all* the Help files be installed on the local
drive with the product, resulting in some issues that we tried to
address in CS4. Including Help on the installation disc caused
issues including:
- Required that Help be completed much earlier for
localization and end-game testing.
- Resulted in static Help files that had been completed early
in the development cycle, sometimes not accounting for last minute
UI or other changes.
- A long install process.
- Crowded the installation disc.
These aren't meant to be full explanations of why we made the
changes, but just some background as to some of the things we were
thinking about. Clearly the decisions we came to weren't the right
ones for many users. We are intent on making things better.
Moving Help online makes it possible to update Help on an
ongoing basis, allows users to comment on and embellish the Help,
and allows us to add links from the help out to new articles,
tutorials, videos, and code samples on adobe.com and throughout the
Flash web community. One of you rightly pointed out that the Adobe
Updater could have been used for some of this, but I believe that
the updater would have required much more rigorous certification by
us of any update packages and the update/install process for each.
We actually are updating the online help files very frequently, so
this process would have been a major barrier to these updates.
We’ve had a struggle about how to deliver the Flash
Help for a long time, as we have a lot of users who have been quite
vocal about not liking the Help panel consuming space within the
Flash window as well as users who really want it there so they
don’t have to leave the IDE.
Having said all that, I still totally understand what
you’re saying about losing your code, glance, code, glance,
code workflow. As you probably know, we’ve been getting a lot
of feedback about this, along with other issues that online Help
has caused. We are actively looking at ways of solving these, but
the Help-in-a-browser issue a difficult problem, as this aspect of
the Help implementation is baked fairly deep into the CS4 product.
Since CS4 shipped, we have implemented solutions to some of the
issues with Help raised by users, such as allowing you to select
the default destination of F1 (though Flash CS4 always went to the
actual Help system rather than the Flash Help and Support page,
which is what these users wanted in other products). I just
don’t know if there will be a solution in the CS4 time frame
for viewing Help within Flash itself. As noted in this thread,
there are a few independent developers working on non-browser help
viewers, such as Jamie Kosoy, Technical Director at Big Spaceship,
whose AIR application for the CS4 Language Reference docs is
available at
http://labs.bigspaceship.com/2008/12/09/air-app-as3-language-reference/.
We knew that people use the AS3 Language Reference a lot, so
we did install a local, abridged version of that with the product.
You only see it when not connected to the internet or if you
disable online connections as described earlier in this thread, and
it still opens in a web browser and still has the same navigation
interface as the online version. You can also download a local copy
of the AS Reference, which does get updated periodically and can be
viewed locally regardless of the state of your internet connection,
but it also is all html and opens in a web browser. As previously
noted, the download is available here:
http://help.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flash/10/ActionScript3LangRef.zip.
I know this thread started off with AS2 concerns, and we hear
those too.
In some of the other threads out there about the Help, people
have raised issues about the contents navigation in the CS4 version
of the ASLR as well. We are listening to all these issues and
actively working on solutions that will address these questions.
We’d really like to give you better control over whether you
see online or local content, whether you see it inside the IDE or
in a separate application, etc.
I know that you are all really frustrated at some of these
help changes, and so I want to say how much we appreciate your
feedback. I’m sorry that my reply doesn’t give you the
magic bullet that you are understandably hoping for.
-Jay

Please fix the Robohelp bug related to supporting underscores (_) in the help files (*.chm)

There are 10 module specific projects. Further map IDs are assigned in all the 10 module projects to have context sensitivity. These are merged into a single project to generate the entire help file. The output for the project is html help (.chm).
Initially, we generated the html help and integrated with the application. When tested (pressed F1) the correct topic is displayed but with the ToC for that module and not the entire help.
Solution: I followed the steps mentioned in the following thread that I came across on Adobe forum.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/240496#240496
But the solution didn’t work as expected, Further investigation showed that since the output file name had underscore (Module1_EN.chm to denote the language), the solution didn’t work. Hence I removed the ‘underscore (_)’ from the output file name and generated the output again. This time the solution worked.
Please refer below the steps for generating the output.
Steps:
Generated output (chm) for all the modules. I had to make sure that the output file name does not contain any ‘underscore (_)’ as this caused the problem when generated the help file.
In the main help project (which is an empty container), merged all the projects using Robohelp’s Merged Project functionality. While merging, I first created empty Book and then merged the project within that book.
For example, Book1 will contain Module1.chm, Book2 will contain Module2.chm and so on.
Added window definitions using Project Setup -> New Window. Also added reference to main ToC here by clicking Advanced Properties. (Table of Contents: Main.hhc)
Selected the above created window while generating the output (Single source layouts -> html help Layout -> Properties).
Generated the html output for the entire project (Main.chm).
Decompile the ‘Main.chm’ and extracted the ToC file ‘Main.hhc’.
For each module project, imported ‘Main.hhc’ as a Baggage File, created window definitions same as the Main project and with reference to ‘Main.hhc’.
Again generated html output for all the modules.
Tested CSH for the project. The correct topic displayed with the entire ToC.
Best regards,
/Vikas

You need to post a bug report to get Adobe's attention. This is a user to user forum. Please follow this link.
http://www.Adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=38
Not sure but I believe it may be a bug in the Microsoft Help Compiler over which Adobe have no control. Microsoft last updated in 2004. Good luck!
