RoboHelp 8 HTML - context sensitive chm file does not open?

This works:
RoboHelp_CSH.RH_ShowHelp(0, "C:\\RoboHelp\\!SSL!\\WebHelp\\XHelp_File.htm", RoboHelp_CSH.HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 2);
This doesn't
RoboHelp_CSH.RH_ShowHelp(0, "C:\\RoboHelp\\!SSL!\\Microsoft_HTML_Help\\XHelp_File.chm", RoboHelp_CSH.HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 1);
Why does the context sensitve calls of a chm file not work?
Does it require a different map file?

Hi there
I believe the actual call is different.
Here is a copy/paste from an older RoboHelp HTML CHM file that we might use as an example:
Window-level Help for Windows applications
To call a topic using a map number, make a call to the HTML Help API using  the following syntax:
HWND  HtmlHelp(Window(), “c:\path\helpfile.chm”, HH_HELP_CONTEXT,  Number);
To call a topic using a file name, make a call to the HTML Help API using  the following syntax:
HWND HtmlHelp (Window(), “c:\path\helpfile.chm”,  HH_DISPLAY_TOPIC, "topicfile.htm");
Hopefully that helps.,. Rick

  • Compiled CHM File Does Not Reflect New Project Name

    I have read many of the experts' responses to posts and found them extremely helpful. However, I have not seen one that addresses my issue.
    I have RH HTML Version RH8. I renamed a project via 1) File - Rename Project and 2) Single Source Layouts - Primary Layout - Properties - Output Folder and File Name.
    Two problems are: 1) The Project Folder name still reflects the old project name and 2) The CHM file still reflects the old project name.
    As a result, the output Help that the user sees still has the old project name in the title bar.
    All generated files as well as the RoboHelpHTML Project File were changed to the new project name, just as the RENAME PROJECTS Help says it should. However, the CHM file does not reflect the new project name as it says it should.
    1) Can I change the Folder name that was created when I compiled the Help file to the correct name?
    2) Can I change the FILENAME in the SELECT OUTPUT FOLDER AND FILENAME  window?
    3) Can I / should I rename the TOC and Index filenames from the old project name to the new project name? (Help says that changing the project name does not change these file names and it didn't.) 
    Will any of these actions correct the problem? I appreciate any help you can give. 

    Welcome to our community
    Try File > Project Settings.
    And if that doesn't get it, try the Project Set-up pod, windows and change the Window Caption.
    Cheers... Rick

  • When I click PDF file, the file does not open and  installation software for creative suite automatically begin to start. Even after re-installation of creative suite 5.5, only acrobat reader dose not work and the same phenomena occurs.

    When I click PDF file, the file does not open and  installation software for creative suite automatically begin to start. Even after re-installation of creative suite 5.5, only acrobat reader dose not work and the same phenomena occurs.

    Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.

  • CS5: double-click on file does not open the file

    If Photoshop is closed, double-click on a file will always successfully launch Photoshop and open the picture.
    If Photoshop is running, double-clicking on a file will activate Photoshop, but very often the file does not open. It works from time to time though, and that seems to be on a random basis.
    Opening a file through the Open command will always work.
    I am working with 10.6.3 on a loaded Mac Pro.
    Did anybody experience this difficulty? Any help would be appreciated, before I take more drastic measures like reinstalling the software of worse than that. I've already done the usual maintenance operations.

    Caustic waltz, while brief, may have hit the nail on the head. If you do not want to continue this thread, you can search the forum for existing posts about Snow Leopard and file-program association confusion. Snow Leopard changed some things and that might be your issue.
    More simply, do your image files have extensions? (.PSD, .JPG, etc...)
    Hello Marian:
    While browsing through my Adobe account, I saw that you took the time to leave a comment two days ago. While it did not solve my problem, I will mark your comment as "helpful" for several reasons. It could have been a cause. And I will add politeness, courtesy and language precision. I'm an old guy and I quite value those elements.
    True, Snow Leopard changed changed the way files are associated to applications. Thank God! Here in our small office, we do a lot of cross-platform transfers and finally it works seamlessly. A good description of the new file identification system can be found here.
    Now, here are the reasons why Snow Leopard cannot be put at fault in my case:
    • If Photoshop CS5 is not launched, double-clicking on any psd, tiff or jpeg file will launch it and open properly.
    • If Photoshop CS5 is already running, double-clicking on any psd, tiff, or jpeg file will activate Photoshop CS5 but will not open.
    This points at either a bug or damaged Photoshop CS5, or maybe a damaged OS. Don't forget that out of maybe a hundred apps, this is the first time I meet with that problem. Of course, the easier course, but by no means guaranteed to work, is to presume that Photoshop CS5 is damaged or that its installation did not work properly. So I did the following things:
    • I deactivated Photoshop CS5 and uninstalled it.
    • I ditched all remaining files related to CS5, CS4, CS3, CS2, CS... yes I know, but then you know as well as I do0 that getting really rid of Photoshop is a daunting task. It took me almost two hours, but I am reasonably sure that the cleaning job was complete.
    • I reinstalled Photoshop CS5.
    Now everything works just fine at least for the time being. Time will tell, of course, but I think that the problem is solved.
    Regards

  • In Dropbox, mobile index.html file does not open in Ipad with ios7

    Before upgrading to ios7 the index.html file opened to text.  Ios7 was to correct this, but the file will not open in a browser.

    I don't think this is a Flash Player problem, but possibly something wrong on your website.
    Try asking in the Dreamweaver forum.

  • XSLT Mapper file does not open in design view

    XSLT mapper file in the composites exported from weblogic EM as a jar and imported in JDeveloper 11.1.14 does not open in design view. There is no option of design view itself in the tab structure. It is viewable only in source view.
    Please suggest, how do I view the desgn view of the xslt mapper?
    Thanks,
    Promiit

    When you export composites from Weblogic EM in jar format, the resulting files are differently formatted from what was used for deployment.
    So, basically, the XSLT file, you are trying to open in Jdeveloper has lost the "mapSources" and "mapTargets" sections, which are generally present in the header section of the jdeveloper-generated XSLT file. Try to manually hand-crack those sections and you should be good to go.
    Hope it helps !

  • Double clicking Illustrator (.ai) file does not open a file with opened app.

    Hello,
    I have an Illustrator CS5 (15.0.2) running on Windows 7 Pro. Here are the symptoms: when double clicking the Illustrator file once the application is already open, the file will not open. You will see an hourglass for a few seconds, but no file contents are displayed. However, if I were to close Illustrator application and then double click on the file, Illustrator will open the file correctly. Additionally, if I go to File -- Open and manually select the file, it also opens the file correctly. Only double clicking the file once the Illustrator application is already open does not work.
    Has anyone seen this issue and knows how-to fix it?

    Right click on a .ai file and choose properties, check to see what application is set to open .ai files. Try running in 32 bit mode.

  • RoboHelp 8 HTML import of Word file does not create topics

    I imported a large Word file (350+ pages, 4Mb) into RoboHelp 8 HTML (8.0208).
    In the status bar at the bottom of the screen, it said "Converting filename.doc..." with a progress bar and then (way too fast for a large file) it said "Ready".
    RoboHelp created the project files (.xpj, empty .hhc, etc.) and NO topics.
    I tried several times, with and without conversion settings.  I tried opening an empty project first and then importing the file, but no luck.
    The original file had a few tracked changes and footers which I removed.
    I tried copying the file and deleting all but one heading and paragraph. 
    Nothing helped.
    A friend with RoboHTML 2002 was able to convert it with no problem.
    By the way, when I converted the file to.rtf, I was able to import it and compile it.  But this is not the optimal way to do it.
    Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thank you,
    Leeba Salzman

    Hi there
    So sorry. My bad. Upon re-reading what I replied to I see that. I really should have read more carefully. Then again, I'm fighting the beginnings of a head cold today. ICK!
    What if you take an approach I've seen my dear friend Peter suggest from time to time. Make a copy of that Word document. Slice off the bottom half and try importing the first half. If that works, you know the issue is in the bottom half. If not, repeat the process and try the other half. Work that way until you either get it all imported or until you isolate the problem area.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Html creator in Blackboard CE does not open.

    When sending mail or setting up assignments when enabling HTML creator. In Safari it stops two-thirds of the way in during the upload. In Mozilla it just freezes!
    Trying to set up online classes is the biggest headache with your newer versions of Firefox. 3.6.16 was the last good working version

    Ok, what I am doing is just :
    <!-- ContentArea -->
        <mx:Canvas top="98" bottom="34" left="11" right="11" styleName="contentArea" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="auto" >
            <chrome:BorderHighlight top="0" bottom="0" left="0" right="0" />
    <mx:HTML id="myBrowser" width="934" height="100%" location="http://www.mywebsite.com/management/coder.php" borderColor="#647B9B" backgroundColor="#C8CCD4" x="15" backgroundDisabledColor="#3E95CC"/>
        </mx:Canvas>
    So, my AIR calls that "coder.php" file, which is basically a very basic code, with some links, but these links are with "_blank" option activated, so when you click on it , the link will open a new browser... right ?
    When I display my "coder.php" file from a browser (IE, Firefoz, etc) the links work fine, but when I work it from my AIR file, and click on such links... they do not open any new browser....
    hope this is more clear now...

  • What does E_ADEPT_XML_SYNTAX mean.. The downloaded acsm-file does not open in Adobe Digital Editions

    downloaded Adobe Digital Editions 4, and registered computer, verified email and then downloaded e-book from retailer, but the acmsfile does not want to open.
    This is very frustrating

    Since Re-activation as suggested by the link above is not working for you, Can you please confirm the following:
    The OperatorURL is reachable. ( you can find the operatorURL from the acsm file by opening it in notepad,etc)
    And Book is still available on the book-store for purchase.
    (If any of first two are not available, you might have to talk to distributor for next action item to get the book. Since you will have record of purchasing the book, (in my opinion) they should provide you the new token for downloading the book)
    And please confirm this that you used the same userID for downloading that you used when you first fulfilled/downloaded the book.
    (If it is the case, then you have to use the correct userID)
    I hope it helps.

  • Word file does not open automatically on export

    When I click on the Export to Word icon from the toolbar the file exports to C:\Program Files\SAP Business One\Worddocs\<company>\<bp ID>\<filename.doc> but it doesn not open automatically as it does in Excel.
    I can open the file once exported but I have to go into that path to do so. Is there something I can do to have it open automatically? MS Word does not even come up when the file is exported. I'm using MS Office 2007 and SAP Business One 8.8 PL 13.

    Hi Alan.......
    i guess what you need to do is Go to Administration> System Initialization> Print Preferences
    Select the Document say Invoice on Per Tab and tick on Export to MS-Word.
    Once you add the AR Invoice it will be exported to MS Word automatically.......
    Hope this will solve your problem.....

  • Iphoto file does not open in external editor

    I have selected Photoshop Elements as my external editor in iPhoto.  When I select a picture file and click 'edit',  Photoshop Elements working space opens but the picture does not appear.  (Same with Silkypix, the Lumix Raw editor).   This is a new bad habit that came with Mavericks.
    I can fit both working spaces on the screen and drag the photo into Photoshop Elements, but I should not have to do that.

    Which version of Photoshop Elements and iPhoto do you have?  The newest version, Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?
    Other than the previous versions of Elements, Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 installs the editor directly at the top-level of the Applications folder, so there are no longer any nested folders to select the editor application from.
    But there is a weird glitch, when I try to use it as an external editor in iPhoto.
    When I select a photo in iPhoto 9.5.1 and ctrl-click it and use the command "Edit in External Editor" from that panel, Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 opens with an empty window, like you reported.
    This does not work: Elements launches on an empty window:
    But when I use the "Edit" button in the footer of the iPhoto window and double click it, Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 will open with the photo in the Editor window.
    This does work:
    So, for the time being, use the Edit button to launch your external editor, if you are also using iPhoto 9.5.1 with Mavericks 10.9.4.

    Anyone???

    Hi Mike,
    I can provide solution if you can tell me the registry value(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sqlwb.sql.9.0\Shell\Open\Command). I believe there is an extra %1 which is causing this.

    Let me see if I can get my IT guys to temporarily grant me registry access.  As I said above, it's locked down, but maybe if I ask
    reeeeally nicely :-)  I will keep you posted.  Thanks!
    EDIT: The IT gods have smiled on me.  The value for the key above is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\ssms.exe" /dde
    Not sure if that helps, but there you go.  Thanks!

    Change that to

    (add %1 and that should fix this forever)
