Hi, regarding these customisable buttons in: Configuration > Common Properties > Help Windows.
Is there any way to get these to open a browser at a specified web address, rather than try to open the relevant web page in the help window ? Appreciate that's probably not what they are intended for but thought I would check.
We were looking for a way to have a link to our web site always visible in the file but it doesn't really work when opened in the help itself.
If not, are there any other options for this that I haven't noticed ? We put the web address in the title bar for info but a link would be nicer !
Thanks.
Tim

Hi Tim,
This is absolutely possible. You just need to activate the Jump buttons and enter a fully-qualified URL (i.e. including the http:// or https:// prefix) in the User-Defined Buttons section in Configuration > Common Properties > Help Windows > HTML Help Options. That will open the web page inside the CHM viewer. If you want to open them in an external browser you need to use this syntax:

javascript:window.open('http://www.ec-software.com/','_blank');history.back(0);
