Help & Manual Forums

We are aware of the problem but have not found a solution yet.

I usually run the project report to find topics that are not completed. The problem with the display is that it is refreshed every time Windows displays the tree. Open or collaps a chapter and the entire TOC tree gets repainted. A parent topic/chapter would have to iterate all its childs every time ...

Are you talking about the MMH (MultiMedia) help format? The MMH viewer just supports a very simple search function: a consequent OR search on all the words you enter. It would increase the viewer exe size significantly if we give it a more advanced search engine. Furthermore, the viewer is built to ...

You can customize that: switch it off or on

To be serious, it does not make a difference in performance if the undo allows just 2 steps or 10 steps. It is the difference between single and more-than-single undo, that costs a little performance, so it doesn't make sense to customize that.

If you export an RTF user manual or PDF file the topics listed in invisible topics are not exported. That's intention. As a general rule, only topics listed in the table of contents go into the user manual.

TWhatsThis has no function to suppress the system menu. To display a What's This? menu for edit boxes, you typically click on the label of the edit box. Assign the edit box to the FocusControl property of the label that describes the edit box. The TWhatsThis component manages to display the edit box...

It adjusts the right and bottom side of the canvas but not the top/left margins. Top/left white spaces are assumed to be intentional.

The Word/RTF output, like HLP files, does not care about table borders. The RTF output is actually only for backward compatibility and will be discontinued in future versions. I recommend PDF instead.

Well, the major drawback is the design editor with the drag handles. The callout would actually need more then 8 drag handles to resize the rectangle: it would need one extra handle to move the pointer. This was too difficult to implement in this short time, we perhaps add this later to improve the ...

This is already implemented: just size the text editor window so that it's width is 14.85 cm or 5.85 inch, respectively. Use the ruler above to check the width.

New beta package uploaded!
The most recent package includes a newer PDF dll now without nag text.
However, if you have restored the previous version, you won't find any
improvements in this new DLL. It has a slightly changed font encoding
for PDF readers for other operating systems than Windows.

Do you have a backup? Please restore the file "ECHMPDF3.DLL" - this new version fixes font problems of PDFs that are viewed on Palm PDF readers but obviously has a nag message that we cannot remove, either. We are waiting for an updated version of the DLL from the supplier.
