CTRL + W (View Selected Item)

My view selected item stopped working. CTRL +W does not work
either. IE6 & Firefox - Any ideas.
Thanks

Hi Jim
Yeah, sometimes the Preview window likes to perform a
pisadeering act for us!
You might give the following steps a try:
1. Close RoboHelp HTML.
You need to do this because the values we are about to change
will be destructively changed once we close RoboHelp HTML and
restart.
2. Open the Windows Registry Editor.
(All standard disclaimers apply. Back up the registry,
sacrifice a chicken, yadda yadda yadda)
3. Locate the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\version\RoboHTML\version\MontereyFrame\
4. Double click the item labeled Preview in separate window
and ensure the value is set to 1. If it already is, terrific. If
not, change it to 1 and click the OK button. It doesn't matter if
the option is set to Hex or Decimal.
5. Double click the item labeled PreviewMaximized and ensure
the value is set to 0. If it already is, terrific. If not, change
it to 0 and click the OK button. It doesn't matter if the option is
set to Hex or Decimal.
6. Double click the item labeled PreviewWindowCX. Make sure
the option is set to Decimal and set the value to 50. Then click
the OK button.
7. Double click the item labeled PreviewWindowCY. Make sure
the option is set to Decimal and set the value to 50. Then click
the OK button.
8. Double click the item labeled PreviewWindowX. Make sure
the option is set to Decimal and set the value to 50. Then click
the OK button.
9. Double click the item labeled PreviewWindowY. Make sure
the option is set to Decimal and set the value to 50. Then click
the OK button.
10. Close the Windows Registry Editor.
11. Restart RoboHelp HTML and preview a topic.
The window should now be floating above the RoboHelp HTML
application in full view.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

SHOW ALL / HIDE ALL BUTTONS produce error in chm but not in "View Selected Item"

My SHOW ALL and HIDE ALL buttons work in the View Selected
Item mode. However, the compiled version generates an error tag:
Line: 72
Char: 1
Error: Object expected
Code: 0
URL:
mk:@MSITSTORE:C\Documents%20and%20Settings\glenn_michaels\RoboHelp%206.0\TCA\!SSL!
In short, the the compiled chm is located in the SSL. I tried
adding showhide.js and ehlpDhtm.js to the SSL folder, but that
didn't make a difference. What is missing? How do I fix this?
Many thanks in advance...
glennito

Mr. Grainge,
I've tried to follow your instructions to the letter, but I'm
not having any luck.
1) I copied the showhide.js to
a) RoboHelp 6.0 > Project Folder
b) RoboHelp 6.0 > Project Folder > SSL
c) RoboHelp 6.0 > Project Folder > SSL >
MicroSoft_HTML_Help
2) I pasted btnhideall.gif, btnshowall.gif, printerblue.gif
into
a) RoboHelp 6.0 > Project Folder > SSL
b) they are also listed in RoboHelp 6.0 > Project Folder
3)The Project Manager > Baggage File originally displayed
a
a) Project (Name) folder
b) ehelp.xml
c) RoboHHre.Ing
I opened the Baggage File > Project (Name) folder,
selected New Baggage File, and added, respectively:
i. btnhideall.gif
ii. btnshowall.gif
iii. ehlpDhtm.js
iv. printerblue.gif
v. printerred.gif
vi. showhide.js
vii. TCA.fpj
vii. root.fpj
4) I also opened rhbag.apj in Notepad. It shows
a) ehelp.xml and RoboHHRE.Ing accompanied by
<usercreated>false</usercreated> tags
b) the remaining baggage files are accomanied by
<usercreated>true</usercreated> tags
5) Finally, I used Notepad to display two topic files in
which the error message identified a Line: XX. In one case the line
# is 42, in another, 19. In both cases, when I counted lines,
starting with <body>, I ended up on:
onClick="JavaScript:hideEm()"
However, I am none the wiser for my effort and don't know
what (5) might be telling me.
6) The only thing I can think of is that the compiled chm
file is two levels away from the Project Name directory that holds
all the files. The files live in Robohelp 6.0 > Project Name
while the compiled help is found in Robohelp 6.0 > Project Name
> SSL! > MicroSoft_HTML_Help > Project Name.chm.
Should I be adjusting the Relative Path within the topics?
Many thanks for your attention and assistance.

"View Selected Item" does not display

I'm using RoboHelp7 out of the Technical Communication Suite.
When I'm working on a topic and select the
View Selected Item button, the topic does not display. When
I first tried yesterday, nothing happened (IE didn't open and there
was nothing in my tray). I contacted Oversea's support and was
informed that there wasn't an incident for this occurance. I was
instructed to uninstall and reinstall RoboHelp.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the applications and the button
still doesn't work; however, this time there is an hourglass for an
instant before not producing any results.
The button doesn't work with anything that I've created or
with the example projects (Clownfish School). Any help would be
greatly appreciated. I'd hate to have to regenerate the project
just to look at a quick change.
Thanks,
Matt

Sounds like I need to add a note to that Snippet. Thanks.

RoboHelp for HTML 9 - Problem with viewing .chm file on 64bit machine

I am working with RoboHelp for HTML 9 on a 32 bit machine. Recently, we encountered problems when viewing a .chm file on a 64 bit machine. The TOC was fine, but the topics did not appear, only error message "Navigation of this web page cancelled". My compilation settings did not change since the last compilation some months ago. What happens?

Generally, I've only ever seen the need to ensure the CHM is unblocked if it has been downloaded from the web. I could see where it could possibly occur if one moved the CHM from a network drive to a local drive, but I'm skeptical that would be required in that case.
Cheers... Rick

Sometimes I cannot view background items and the option to select it is blocked. Please help.

The opening screenshot has four news stories, each having a background. I cannot see the background on this website and the option to view the background is blocked.

The Print button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list opens the Print Preview window.
You can click the Print button in the Print Preview window or use the Print item in the File menu (File > Print) or use the Ctrl+P shortcut to have access to the print selection item and other print setup options.
* Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.

Selecting items in Classic View

I must have done something to modify my settings because I'm havaing difficulty selecting items in a DW document on the design side in classic view. I don't know what setting I've changed but when I try to select an inserted media item within a spry, I'm only able to select the entire spry on not the contents. Any ideas?

It's possible that your CSS has applied an "overflow:hidden" style to the container within which you are trying to select items (this is to manage any floats within that container). What happens if you double click on the item you are trying to select?

Open New Instance of HTML Viewer Window

I've read several past posts about this subject, but I'm not
clear how to accomplish my goal. Here's what I want to do:
Click a text link and open a topic in a new instance of the
HTML Viewer. This new topic is not in an external .chm file. I do
want to be able to have this feature work on the network, as well.
I think this question is loaded based on past posts. I'm a
novice when it comes to coding directly, so baby steps would be
good for me.
Thank you!
Jane

As you can see, there was much trial and error. Here's the
final process that will work for RoboHelp HTML X3. Thanks to Rick
for the original explanation and to John McCallum for helping me
through this process.
Creating a Secondary Window in RoboHelp HTML X3
NOTE: We are using a defined a secondary window on the
Project tab called $global_InterfaceWindow. The $global_ prevents
the error message HH_GET_WIN_TYPE error.
1. Enter the name of the text to which you want to create a
secondary window. In this case, we will use ABC window.
2. Select ABC window and click the Insert Hyperlink button.
3. Enter JavaScript:RelatedTopics.Click() in the Link to
field and click OK.
4. Click next to the hypertext, and select Related
Topics… from the Insert menu. The Related Topic Wizard dialog
box opens.
5. Click Hidden (for scripts) option button, and click Next.
6. Select the topic to which you want to link, and click Add.
7. Click Next. Click Next again. Click Finish.
8. Click the Hidden rectangle , and click the TrueCode tab.
9. Locate the following phrase in green text.
<param name="Items" value="ABC Window\STYLE003.htm$$**$$"
>
Insert Name.chm::\ after ABC window;
<param name="Items" value="ABC
Window;Name.chm::\STYLE003.htm$$**$$" >
NOTE: The path to your topic is not always the same path used
in Windows Explorer. Be sure to set the path correctly, or the
topic will not display.
10. Complete the same process in the gray area; that is, the
CLASSID section of the code.
11. Locate the following phrase in green text.
<param name="Window" value="" >
Enter $global_InterfaceWindow between the double quotation
marks.
<param name="Window" value="$global_InterfaceWindow" >
12. Copy this phrase and paste it in the gray area; that is
the CLASSID section of the code.
NOTE: Once you paste this phrase in the CLASSID section, you
cannot click the WYSIWYG tab because it will remove the copied
phrase. Click a different topic to save it in the TrueCode tab. If
you need to access the TrueCode tab again for this topic, you MUST
copy and past this phrase back inside the CLASSID section.

Bug (possibly?): SelectManyShuttle fails to display selected items

Bug (possibly?): SelectManyShuttle fails to display selected items when valuePassThru="true" in ADF 10g
Hello all,
When run, the example below shows a Select Many Shuttle with four choices in the leading list. When items are shuttled to the training list and the page is submitted the trailing list is rendered with no items selected. Is this a bug?
Configuration
This example was constructed using jDeveloper 10.1.3.5.0.
A new application was created using the Web Application [JSF, ADF BC] template although no business components are used.
Steps to Reproduce
1. Create the following backing bean class.
package com.fmcna.adf.test.view;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javax.faces.model.SelectItem;
public class ShuttleBean {
    public ShuttleBean() {
    private List availableItems;
    private List selectedItems;
    public void setAvailableItems(List availableItems) {
        this.availableItems = availableItems;
    public List getAvailableItems() {
        //populate with a List of SelectItem instances on the inital call to this method
        if(this.availableItems==null) {
            this.availableItems=generateSelectItemsList();
        return availableItems;
    public void setSelectedItems(List selectedItems) {
        this.selectedItems = selectedItems;
    public List getSelectedItems() {
        return selectedItems;
     * Build a List of SelectItem instances to be used by an af:selectManyShuttle
     * @return A List containing SelectItems instances
    private List generateSelectItemsList() {
        List initialItems = new ArrayList();
        initialItems.add(new SelectItem(new Integer(11),"First Choice"));
        initialItems.add(new SelectItem(new Integer(22),"Second Choice"));
        initialItems.add(new SelectItem(new Integer(33),"Third Choice"));
        initialItems.add(new SelectItem(new Integer(44),"Fourth Choice"));
        return initialItems;
}2. Configure the ShuttleBean class as a session scoped managed bean as in the following faces-config.xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<!DOCTYPE faces-config PUBLIC
"-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JavaServer Faces Config 1.1//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_1.dtd">
<faces-config xmlns="http://java.sun.com/JSF/Configuration">
<managed-bean>
    <managed-bean-name>ShuttleBean</managed-bean-name>
    <managed-bean-class>com.fmcna.adf.test.view.ShuttleBean</managed-bean-class>
    <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
<application>
    <default-render-kit-id>oracle.adf.core</default-render-kit-id>
</application>
</faces-config>3. Create a JSP page containing an af:selectManyShuttle with a nested f:selectItems component. Wire the values for these components to the properties in the managed bean.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces" prefix="af"%>
<f:view>
<html>
    <head>
      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
            content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"/>
      <title>testShuttle</title>
    </head>
    <body><h:form>
        <af:selectManyShuttle value="#{ShuttleBean.selectedItems}" valuePassThru="true">
            <f:selectItems value="#{ShuttleBean.availableItems}"/>
        </af:selectManyShuttle>
        <af:commandLink text="Postback"/>
    </h:form></body>
</html>
</f:view>4. Run the JSP. Validate that the trailing list is initially empty.
5. Shuttle one or more items to the trailing list and click the Postback button. Validate that when the page refreshes the trailing list is again empty.
Thanks for any input you might be able to provide.

I'm holding my Nano in my hot little hands with ALL of the things you listed, but here's the sad, simple truth: you CAN'T use iTunes to sync everything. It works well for:
1) Music
2) Videos (except sometimes in Vista)
3) Photos (as long as they're not too large)
but is terrible for:
1) calendar
2) contacts
3) To-Do lists
For the latter use something like "iGadget" (www.ipodsoft.com). I also edit/store notes w/iGadget plus it allows you to export files, etc.
I gave up on syncing iTunes w/Outlook long ago. Good luck.

Losy images after importing Word document into RoboHelp 7 HTML

We imported a simple Word document into RoboHelp 7 HTML, as a
new project (from scratch).
Everything worked out pretty well (afterall, this was just a
simple Word document), and we expect to have to tweak the styles,
etc. That is understood.
However, the images that were embedded in the Word document
(as opposed to saved to disk, and only linked to the Word document)
do not look very nice in the RoboHelp 7 HTML project topics.
When we browse to the iamge folder, and view the actual image
files, these images do not look too bad. But in the Design View,
the images have display issues (solid color bars on the
sides/top/bottom of the images). When we compile to a Single Source
Layout (except PDF), the images look fine again. When we create
Printed Documentation, even for the best PDF-settings, the images
look terrible -- smudgy, like low resolution quality).
1) Except for storing the images outside of the Word document
before importing, and then manually linking them back into the
imported RoboHelp HTML files, is there a way to maximize the
quality of the imported Word images in RoboHelp HTML?
2) Why doe the images look worse in Printed Documenation
(PDF), even for the highest PDF settings, than for the other Single
Source Layouts?
While I am typing, I realized that we should try to include
the images in Word via a link to the image files on disk. Perhaps
then RoboHelp will not actually modify the image files during
import. I will report back about this one.
Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Looks perfect, works terribly...
Things to consider:
Chances are, the different treatments of the space are due to whether the space was included in the bolding of the word in MS Word.
Additionally, since Word files contain much underlying binary code (macros and such), your security settings might or might not be playing well with the Word stuff.
Are you importing the Word file from a network location, or from your local machine? Network traffic might be partially impacting the import, too.
Bottom line? You'll probably need to clear all formatting in the Word file and redo the formatting properly. To test this, cut a couple of pages into a new Word file, clear and redo the formatting in Word, import the Word file into another RH project, and see what results you get.
To clear the formatting:
Select text.
On the Home tab, in the Font group, click Clear Formatting.
Redo the formatting, being careful to not format the spaces.
Good luck,
Leon

Query view selection

Hello,
I am working with Bex 3.5 WAD. How do i make use of the web item "query view selection". It is not working properly for me. Is there any document that i can follow to create a web template using the above web item. Please advise.

hello Gillian,
I looked at that link before. I am able to use query view selection bex in my web template and the query drop down box is being populated by all the query views created for the query and i have given a table (table_1) as the affected web item. When i publish my template i can see the query view drop down box with the list of query views and the table. When i select one view the table is showing the results for that view, but when second view onwards the data doesn't change? what am i doing wrong. below is my html code.
<object>
         <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
         <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>

[ADF-UIX] passing selected items to a custom method, how?

Hi,
ADF-UIX can be tricky, and im stuck atm building some functionality, I hope
someone here can point me in a good direction
I have a multipleSelection table filled with data from a ViewObject. I also
have 2 MessageChoice components also filled with data from 2 ViewObjects.
I made a custom method in my AppMod accepting 3 params and dragged that method
on to a DataAction. And I have a submit button calling the DataAction.
Now comes the tricky part, how can I pass the selected rows (radiobuttons) and
the selected items from my MessageChoices to my custom method.
I know I have to change something in paramNames[0].value but what exactly, specialy
the multiselect from my table.
Thanks in advance for any tips :)

"what's the application module"
JDev 10.1.3 leverages an Application Development Framework (ADF) that you can learn about here: http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/pdf/B25947_01.pdf
Specifically, you'll want to look at chapters 2, 4, & 8 in the developer's guide to understand the framework and to understand how to use application modules to call service methods from a JSF page. You can also search this forum as there are other threads discussing this topic, but I'd recommend reviewing the developer guide first.
This article I also found helpful:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/muench/mostcommon/index.html
From my (short) experience, I've learned that you can call methods either using a bean or service methods on the Application Module. Since I am using ADF Business Components (BC), I try to implement any methods that interact with the BC's (view objects, etc.) as service methods on the Application Module (AM). If my method needs to purely implement logic related to the UI or Navigation, then I implement a method on a bean. The other case where I implement a method on a bean is if I need to do some pre-processing (i.e., gather info. about the state of the UI) prior to calling a service method on the AM (an example of this can be found in the dev guide related to the tableSelectMany component) - so there are some cases where the bean method will call a method on the AM - but again, if the method will update the model I try to use a method on the AM to accomplish this. Understanding the ADF framework is the first step (see the dev guide), and then I'd recommend looking at the SRDemo and previous posts on this forum.
Finally, one thing that is really cool - if you define a service method on your AM, it shows up in the data control pallette - you can drag and drop the method on the .jspx page and all of the bindings/wiring is done automatically for you (including handling passing of parameters.)
hope this helps.

How i can set the selected item of a dropDown component from java code

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
How i can set the slected item of a DropDown component from backing beans java code ?
it is binded with a database , so one field determine its display and one other field determine its value , I want to set the selected item of this combobox
In back code i have both value and display values to use them .
can some one give me some help ?
Thanks ,

See code sample 3 at http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html
See also, the selection components row in the table under http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html
It says
One way to preselect items is to call setSelectedValue(Object[]) or setSelectedValue(Object) from the prerender() method. You pass in the return values of the items that you want preselected. Be sure to verify that getSelected() returns null before setting the default options, or you will overwrite the user's selections on a post-back.

How to link individual picker view selections to download an individual file from a website or other location such as dropbox using Xcode?

Alright, the question I have has to deal with how to link an app to a website to download files. How, or is it even possible to link individual picker view selections to download an individual file from a website or other location such as dropbox using xcode. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but if anyone can help or can send a link to a place that can, I would greatly appreciate it!

I am not getting anywhere with deploying my application or
applet.
I have set up my bc4j project. It contains all my VO info,
links, application module. (proj a)
I then have another project with DbInfo in it(has all my rowset
info), Multiple Frames, and my Applet.java file.
Actually I have an Applet.java file and a Application.java file
because I was seeing if both/either worked. Anyway they seem the
same, except for that extra window that comes up when you run the
applet.
I follow the steps in the oracle directions (from earlier post).
And all seems ok. But at ---->
[*] Select the subdirectory under myhtml where your applet's HTML
file
is located, and enter the directory path of the 'staging'
directory you
created in step 3 above, if different from the default.</li>
[*]Select the HTML files that JDeveloper created to run your
applet.</li>
[*]Select all of the Java source files in your project that make
up the
applet.</li>
I have no HTML file associated with my applet, at least that I
know of.
So do I need to create one, or should it of been done
automatically.
Also, I trying to figure out what will be the best way to deploy
my project. Applet or stand alone application is what my first
choices have been so far. I have read that there is some issues
with applets being served from a different server than the
database. So a stand alone application was my front runner, but
I haven't gotten either way to work yet.
