Launch of a second from a help file chm

I need to launch a second from an existing help file chm file, so that they are both open at the same time.
I use RoboHTML X4.1.
I managed to post a topic for the second chm in the first chm, but this isn't what asked me to do!
Can anyone help please?
Thanks in advance
Laura

We worked with a little help from a developer, it's only when I run the chm of RoboHelp that it does not (something to do with the directory structure).

When I run the file from the Explorer, it works perfectly.

Thanks for your help.

  • Empty boxes instead of images in the compiled help file (.chm)

    Original title: invisible Images in the CHM files

    I recently noticed that images are no longer displayed when I read a compiled help file (.chm).  There is a big empty space where the image should appear.

    I just noticed the problem today, but it could have been going on for a few weeks.  I say this because the SAME thing happens when I open an e-mail message that contains a picture in Outlook 2003 - no picture, just an empty area.  THIS problem lasts for a month or more.

    Some facts which may be relevant: 1) operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1.

    (2) it is completely up to date with Microsoft Updates.

    (3) the CHM files are associated with the Microsoft HTML Help executable

    (4) until a few weeks ago, no problem was obvious.

    (5) after that I reload problem

    (6) problem persists after as I clear my browser cache (long shot I know)

    (7) when I print a page from a CHM file, the image appears on the page printed as expected.

    (8) OTHER USERS ON THAT COMPUTER DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM!

    I look forward to suggestions,

    Mark H.

    Thanks for your response, Mann

    I found the answer to my problem, and it's simple and infuriating at the same time.  It turns out that some time ago (months?), my Internet Explorer option to "View image" has been decommissioned (Tools > Internet Options > advanced > Multimedia > show pictures).  Because IE is not my default browser, I have not noticed.

    Now that I have activated "Show image", I can display images in IE, compiled Help Viewer and Outlook.  Obviously these other applications use IE as their html Viewer (why not?), and are under the same options, adapted to the internet, as the application host (bad idea!)

  • Printing from a help file

    Hi all!

    I've been looking for these forums and click on links for a few hours now and have not been able to find what I'm looking for. If this topic already exists, my apologies for the double! Also, I'm a user-ish to RoboHelp. Have never really received any training, I just usually figure things out by trial and error and by browsing the forums here. So if I give you useless information, hang on! I want to just make sure that I give all the necessary information about this. Too... and the most exciting... I come from the rest of the week! Weekend in five days here I come! So I won't be able to add anything or answer questions until Tuesday!

    I work in RoboHelp HTML 6. (I think that version 099, if it matters.) I created a help file which we loaded on our website of the company. When you create the file to upload to the site, I used WebHelp under single Source Layouts. Everything works beautifully, but now some customers want to be able to print each module individually. I created Documents to print for each single module under Layouts of Source and I read on the buttons to link to who so customers can print them but I can not understand how to put the 'button' in the homepage of each module so that the customer can print. Or if they use the button print on their browser, how to combine the Documentation Print this page. (Printed documentation is in PDF format).

    So what don't understand me? How can I associate documentation printed page in the help document online for customers to use?

    Have a fabulous weekend!

    Hello

    Here's how you do it. First, you add your printed documents to the list of files of luggage. Just to right click the nickname baggage file and add the file. After you do this, you are able to create links between the themes of the record of luggage. Just insert a text or an image, then select it and drag the file of baggage in the luggage to the selected text files box.

    Really can't be much simpler than that, right?

    See you soon... Rick

  • Name of the queues, Instances of the Application, the appellants and this Proxy that I miss read from the help file?

    In a Word, I want to get a few clones of a vi a LabVIEW project reenterant.  Yes, I launch the Clones through CGRA and pass an integer in the clones to implement the queue named ("%d MyClone_")

    "Clones" seem to be the calling project.  The Hieriarchy view displays "Caller Proxy" for example "" MyReenterant.viACBRProxyCaller.<.int> ". And yet, NAMED to clone instances queues seem to have nothing to do with the clone named queues?

    SO how should I name a queue so that it can be passed in a specific clone of a vi that is part of the same project?

    Ah, your problem is that you use option 0 x 40, cloning pool, in addition to 0x80 for your ref VI open.   The reference you get is a reference to the clones, not a specific clone pool.  Thus, the clone of the real start is not the same as the clone that you place in the void Panel.   Change the options of REF VI open to only 0x80.  Then it works because each reference now points to the specific clone.

  • Any way to link topics to the help file CHM air?

    Hi all

    A client wants to convert its main helpfile for the help of AIR format. However, we need to bind several subjects in an existing CHM (which must remain a CHM) with the help of the AIR file. Is it possible to do this?

    Thank you

    This comment may be a few months late, but I was able to add a control that opens an Air file from a .chm file.

    You can add a shortcut (Insert< html="" help="" controls="">< shortcut)="" to="" a="" topic="" in="" the="" .chm="" file.="" in="" the="" second="" screen="" of="" the="" shortcut="" wizard,="" specify="" the="" name="" of="" the="" .exe="" file="" for="" the="" air="" help="" as="" the="" program="" to="" run="" when="" the="" shortcut="" is="">

    As far as I know, the Air aid application must be installed in order to link to it. If the shortcut should not link to the .air file but to the created .exe file after that the application is properly installed.

    I don't understand how to link to a specific topic by using Air. There are options in the shortcut Wizard from the command line arguments when you run the program. However, I don't know how to place a link to an html file specific as a command line argument. Any advice?

  • How did you help file .chm maintain its position of the window when the user resizes the Help window.

    One of my customers complained that the content help scrolls out of view when the window is resized.  Is there a way to anchor the position while the window is resized?

    Ok. I understand what they want now. Unfortunately there is no way to achieve what they want. A consequence of resizing of the window, is that you lose focus on what is selected in the section. This is something that affects all windows, not only the CHM files. Try selecting part of a web page and the resizing of the window. The same happens.

  • Why not Win 7 search easily or reliably find files from subfolder and file specified?

    I've been using Windows for a while now, since version 2.x. I am currently using Windows 7 64 bit. I need to find a file. Not exactly rocket science. Let's say it's fichier.ext. I know that one or more copies of filename.ext reside inside or under C:\folder\subfolder1.

    So I open C:\folder\subfolder1 in Windows File Explorer. I press {COMMAND} + {e} for the search box and type filename.ext, then {ENTER}. The search returns 99 items. Unfortunately, 98 of them are not named fichier.ext. It sucks, but whatever. 98 results for the most part irrelevant are sorted by ascending file name. UH... I know by running DIR/s that there are actually 7 files named filename.ext residing in these subfolders. But Windows 7 search gave only 1 of them. The resolution of the problems of research said that everything was fine. All seem to have file system permissions. So here I am with 1 relevant result and literally 98 irrelevant results. It sucks. The files are not hidden. ATTRIB shows that they hear only the flags of A (rchive). I can find no reason why search gave no relevant results 98, yet returned only 1 of 7 planned relevant results. No, I'm starting to do this just to write a rant on the search for Win 7. I wanted just to finish a task, which would have been relatively easy in all previous versions of Windows, I used.

    Given that the search for C:\folder\subfolder1 does not work, I try searching for C:\. Guess what. 43 items returned, and only 34 of the results are irrelevant. From C:\, search found 7 all the relevant files. It's a Festivus miracle! But how a top-level folder got no less relevant results, but most relevant results doesn't make much sense.

    16% of the relevant results are grouped because they are sorted by filename ascending. Now, the company, right? I want the full path and the name of each of the 7 compliant files that I know exist. Who do not ask too, right? Except that there is no way to copy the text in the column of the file. And the text in the folder column is absurd anyway. The folder column shows "subfolder5 (C:\Folder\Subfolder1\Subfolder2\Subfolder3\Subfolder4). Why on Earth is subfolder5 on the left? And there is no place I can copy the path. OK, no problem, I'll just do a right click and open the file location. In fact I use {SHIFT} + {F10}, {i} instead of Right-Click, but it's because I have old habits when there was usually effective ways of doing things in Windows using the keyboard.

    Thus, opens the folder containing my first relevant result. {ALT} + {d} which brings me to the address bar, where I already have the full path. Now I just type "\" and the first characters of the file name and it completes automatically. {COMMAND} + {a}, {COMMAND} + {c} and it is all copied to the Clipboard. Yay, I got my first string path\filename successfully, so I can really accomplish something. I launch an instance of Notepad and paste it in for later use. Now back to my remaining 6 to search relevant results... Hmmm... {ALT} + {left} does nothing. Focus changes often without apparent reason in Win 7 files and the Search Explorer, which prevents the work strikes. So I move the mouse and click the left arrow to go back to my 6 other relevant results. That's when I find that search threw all the results. I have to wait while it does search through each file under C:\. Ugh.

    In an effort to avoid having to search several times C:\ 5 times more unnecessarily for fichier.ext, I'm thinking maybe I can click the button start and try to type here, let semi-automatic paths as I type the content of the column of the file. It does not, because the start menu obscures my 7 relevant results. I later I knew that even if they are hidden, I could select the relevant 7 of 99 total results and the selection color stick while the start menu hidden items in the name column. But in the end, the fastest way to get the 7 paths was actually copy via the mode prompt QuickEdit on DIR /S FILENAME command. Results of the EXT. I mean, really?

    Windows search cannot locate surely known names of files in a subfolder that is known? Win7 search not only gave me 98 irrelevant results, but also failed to find 6 of the 7 specified files. How screwed is that? But DIR/s gave me no irrelevant results at all and find files with 100% reliability. Does this strike anyone as being a little... uh... bad?

    Find names of files specified in a specified subfolder does not appear as a rare user scenario. Simply how to find a record of a known file in a known subfolder name seems ridiculously too complicated in Windows 7.

    Now, there is a _ a lot of good things on Win 7. My favorite features are probably support for multiple processors, accident of insulation, and the incredible improvements in design and material compatibility layer makes this Win 3.x prey. But please, I seriously hope that someone will take a look at some of the pieces of this real scenario common and try to improve things in a future service pack or something? Pretty please?

    Noel, thanks for the great suggestion! I * never * would have discovered the ' file name: ' filter with the help of Windows.

    I had no idea that there was a search syntax. It seems totally weird to me that the add a drop-down list box filter search doesn't give IU for update and size filters. I think that corresponding filename deserves its own button there and something to direct users to this overview of query language syntax.

    It's really great to know adding "leader:" to restrict the results to only compliant file names. I am completely floored that it is completely impossible. I would * NEVER * have discovered that the link of query syntax. There is no link between the search Help topics. Windows Search 4.0 is somewhat a component name internally. As an end-user of Windows 7, I consider that the search for files to be an integral part of the operating system. I would have never thought to search for help on "Windows Search 4.0". FYI - I just went to the research, a help file topic or a folder and a suggestion to make a link to the news of search query to win 4 left.

    I fiddled with the columns, remove the folder column and replacing it with the much more logical folder path column. I was happy to find that the next time I opened a search for C:\, the path of the folder column persisted.

    When I search libraries, I have the search box offers some filters, like, Date of modification, Type, name, path, Tags. This never was told to the "queue:" filter that I needed. The "name:" filter only appears when searching for my libraries, do not then the research to another part of my drive. Research on "name:filename.ext" returns all files where {(extention == «ext») & (filename contains "filename")}, for example, returns 'fu_filename.ext', 'filename_bar.ext', 'fu_filename_bar.ext', etc.

    In the results, the context menu doesn't give me a copy as path option. The closest I can find is going to file properties, I can manually copy the contents of the location.

    Rest of questions that I hope THAT MSFT would consider to improve:

    1. "file name:" filter is totally impossible, causing in search of filename otherwise quick to take minimum two times longer, useless due to analysis of the content of the file.

    2. DIR /S C:\FILENAME. EXT runs twice faster than Win with essential Search but impossible ' file name: ' filter, often up to 8 times faster than without the discoverable ' filename: ' filter.

    3. DIR /S C:\FILENAME. POST do not clutter results with files whose content contains the string.

    4. DIR /S C:\FILENAME. Reliable EXT returns all the relevant results.

    5. I can copy each path of results returned by DIR /S C:\FILENAME. POST in a single step (with QuickEdit active guest).

    It's not too terribly demanding to expect a file search v7 o/s to at least on par with the performance and ease of use of a query of type MS-MS-DOS age 30 is?

  • I get about one second from the previous movie when the scene selection in the menu of the DVD

    I have PE 12 for mac and have a 21.5 "iMac with 4 GB RAM and 1 TB hard drive.  I asked questions on here before all of a DV footage.

    I have a delay of 1 hour, 20 minutes and used markers to scene to go to the cinema in the timeline panel.  There are 11 movies in the video.  Markers are at the beginning of the scene in question.  On some of the later scenes, I get about one second from the previous movie before the start of the current movie.  I did thorough tests 12 EP in order get my imported correctly DV film.  I finally decided to use LifeFlix to get the imported records.  When I was testing the creation of DVD, I have not found this second of the previous film in the current issue of the film.  The problem seems to be that less pronounced during playback on my DVD than VLC Player or Apple's DVD player.  I use DVD Widescreen Dolby Preset for the DVD.  I did a DVD earlier using brands of menu with the result being 11 main menus.  I decided to abandon this approach.  Two DVDs have the same second or so of the previous clip before the current movie.

    I tried to stop markers in the DVD to recreate what I had with Pinnacle Studio, but this resulted in a DVD with a 'mistake' at the stage of decision-making case and record a DVD with menus blacks half but for the buttons.  I had added some empty frames between scenes when adding the judgment of brands, such as advised by ATR, but this failed.

    I would like to use markers to stop it again, but the problem of the second or last if a clip is more pressing.  The previous screen is sometimes less than a second and has no picture, just sound.

    Never had this problem with my old program.

    I also had "Unknown error 2131042562" when writing a normal DVD with the project and the checkbox "adjust to the content of the available space." checked.  I also got this when trying to write on a normal DVD - RW disc, to test the DVD for 'Previous film' problem as stated above.

    My burner is a USB 3 Litton Blu - ray burner.  It worked without a problem since I bought it.  I also used TDK DVD that I used for a number of years without any problems at all.  Today I wrote a data DVD without any problem.  I also wrote the content of a DVD folder on the disc, after generating an image using disk utility and it worked successfully, I realized the same DVD using the software 'Burn' successfully.

    Again, I have never had such problems in the display of the videos on DVD before.

    Your help is very appreciated.

    I managed to get a DVD with 5 images of black video between the scenes I wanted.  Video of Black made sure the brands menu worked!  Started it at the beginning of the relevant scenes.  I've never had to do this before in any program.

    Add stop markers did not.  Brands menu would go up to a point half a second or a second before the required stage, as have no black video.  I tried all sorts of things to resolve this, even to copy the project using the project archiver and the opening of the copy, but nothing helped.  I don't really know how ATR has managed to get markers to stop working.  I even added 12 frames of black video between frames with markers of the judgment at the beginning of the black video and the marker of the scene at the end.  It did not work.  I have nothing out.  The program seems to create a folder, but there is no error message and no file at the end.  He writes date folder much faster than normal when using markers of the judgment.  Also do not work 12 images of the video I think.

    I gave up at stop markers.  The normal use of the menus seems OK.  Other programs like Apple Compressor have this type of menu structure.

    Note the use of 5 images of the black video locks marks menu successfully.

  • Load a picture 2D from a txt file

    Hi, I have a little problem on the table: /.

    I'm a little game of tiles according to the coding, and I load the map from a .txt file.

    The txt file is like this:

    0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1

    1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1

    ...

    and I want to just use it in this loop:

    for (var i: int = 0; i < mapHeight; i ++)

    {

    for (var j: int = 0; j < mapWidth; j ++)

    {

    var cell: MovieClip = new tile();

    cell.gotoAndStop (map [i] [j] + 1);

    If (i % 2 == 1) {}

    Cell.x = 70 * j - 35;

    Cell.y = 35 * i;

    }

    else {}

    Cell.x = 70 * j;

    Cell.y = 35 * i;

    }

    addChild (cell);

    }

    }

    This loop works if I create the table on the map in the AS3 file, but with 10 cards, the code will be very very very long.

    I tried to load the table from a txt file, but there is not a lof on internet information and I'm stuck.

    To load the txt file:

    var mapLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

    mapLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);

    function onLoaded(e:Event):void {}

    var maptext:String = e.target.data;

    var map: Array = maptext.split("");

    trace (Map);

    }

    mapLoader.load (new URLRequest ("map1.txt"));

    But I do not understand how to use 'map' after that, I can't use it in the loop to add cell, I have an error.

    I find that all it really complicated to load just a simple table 2D from a txt file.

    Can't I just put all the maps in AS3 in a different txt file and load this part of code when I need it? Like this:

    "var map: Array = [];

    [1,0,0,1],

    [1,1,1,1]

    [0,0,0,0]

    [0,1,0,1],

    ]; "

    Thanks for the help and sorry for the bad English.

    If I recreate the first version, I get the same result as what you show for the second version - I do not get the result snapped up as show you.  My guess is that you have the data file prepared incorrectly when you organize the data into it.

  • Layout in Arabic, Chinese and Russian. Export text from a PDF file

    I am exhibitor of long documents in Arabic, Chinese and Russian. The text was provided in PDF format when I copy and paste this in Indesign, it happens like question marks, boxes and other characters having nothing to do with the text I'm trying to layout.  I put the cast on the Arabic Myriad and Arabic dictionary still nothing that resembles Arabic or any other language. Same thing with the Chinese and Russian. Any suggestions on how to get the text from the PDF file where is the language. Appreciate help with this.  Thank you.

    Thanks for the caption, Ellis

    Thus, KK: you're in for a world of pain. The intials "WP" at the beginning of these policies means that the text is out of WordPerfect. Make presentations multilingual in WP, it was annoying, but possible. It was developed in the pre-Unicode world where every single method of complex script layout was a dirty hack. If you like dirty nerdy details, I can tell you how it worked, but that it is sufficient to say that attempt to harvest the non-latine-script text of: WP and it reuse for use in InDesign is just pure pain. WordPerfect-specific code pages were never really supported anywhere outside WP.

    That being said, I have a script around laying somewhere for the conversion of the WP-Cyrillic in Unicode. (In fact, I think it does Windows CP 1251, but that works as well.) But this is only one of the forty-five languages? And the Chinese has been pixelated? And PDF files were originally generated by Distiller 3? If you have no choice, it is time to leave. If you do not have the choice, I really hope that you charge hourly. My experience in this area (very large) is that it will cost three to five times more to extract the text as it would for a professional translation generate a new key of the text, and and then to have a second professional translation review text rekeyed looking for typos.

    Russian OCR is darn good these days, but Chinese OCR is random. I've never seen good Arabic OCR - doesn't mean it's not out there, but I couldn't help you find it.  But the chances that all 45 languages available reliable OCR, and the result of said OCRing will not have to be reviewed by someone who knows the language, are virtually nil.
