CHM popup link - not in ./

Unread post by mahris »

In CHM (dual mode), popup link turns into HHCTRL.hhclick(), where Item1 has a value ./MyHelp.hlp.
It works if I invoke CHM by clicking in Explorer. It does not work if CHM is opened from H&M (my destination directory is not the project directory). It does not work also when I open CHM from my application.

If I insert a plain HTML with the same code, only without ./, everything works for me. Moreover, if I have generated ./MyHelp.hlp and my simple MyHelp.hlp objects on one page, the generated object also starts working.

However, possibly solution without ./ works for me because my helpsystem is in the Windows path (I have not tested what happens if not).

So, I am not sure whether the solution without ./ always is better. However, it should be nice for me to have a more simple way to generate a popup (now I every time write a large amount of plain HTML, only to omit ./).
