HH_DISPLAY_SEARCH on Delphi EHS 1.90 gone?

Unread post by HpW »

It seams that the EHS (Delphi Component) do not support any Help & Search functions.

{HH_DISPLAY_SEARCH does not work - bug in HTML Help viewer
function THelpRouter.HHFTSQuery(keyword: string): boolean;

Is there any known workaround just to open the Search TAB?

No. Microsoft has confirmed in 2002 that this is a bug and the API search call does not work: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241381/en-us

You may be able to open the search tab by removing the comments in the THelpRouter code, but actually searching for a keyword does not work.

Hi,

Yes, I did this already and was not able to find any solution that the "Search" tab was focused....
