I am confused here. I have migrated my CHM help from HtmlHelp Workshop to HelpNDoc. I compiled the CHM file and updated my MFC project to direct to the correct topic:
HtmlHelp((DWORD_PTR)_T("msa-options-publishers-db.html"), HH_DISPLAY_TOPIC);
The above approach worked with my previous CHM file. When I invoke this call the following happens:
It doesn't find it. Now I am having difficulties here because if I click F1 in my IDE (VS2017) it takes me to here. This article provides an example for showing a topic:
HWND hwnd =
HtmlHelp(
GetDesktopWindow(),
"c:\\Help.chm::/Intro.htm>Mainwin",
HH_DISPLAY_TOPIC,
NULL) ;
The above HtmlHelp API call is taking 4 parameters. Yet, in my CDialogEx derived class I only have two parameters:
So I need to find a way that will work to open any topic in my CHM file as compiled with HelpNDoc.
Update
On further research I located the topic that discusses the HtmlHelp API call that I am using (found in the CWinApp class). It states:
Parameters
dwData Specifies additional data. The value used depends on the value
of the nCmd parameter.
nCmd Specifies the type of help requested. For a list of possible
values and how they affect the dwData parameter, see the uCommand
parameter described in About the HTMLHelp API Function in the Windows
SDK.
So we end up here where we are given a link to details about HH_DISPLAY_TOPIC. We have gone full circle. Looking closely it states:
Specifies a compiled help (.chm) file, or a specific topic within a compiled help file.
To specify a defined window type, insert a greater-than (>) character followed by the name of the window type.
So my code should still be fine.
You won't believe how simple the resolution to this issue was!
I did a test with HTML Help Workship API window:
The only one that worked was when I used htm as the suffix and not html. See:

I am getting Class file editor : Source not found error for the classes in junit / hazelcast packages. Previously i got this error for all built in java classes. But after adding the Source zip file, i am able to see String.class and all. What i need to do for these classes. Please find the screenshot
Thanks in Advance!
Interestingly enough, your question contains all the concepts you need to know in order to answer it.
In order for your IDE to show you source code for any library you are using, the corresponding library needs to come with source code attached to it.
In other words: you managed to point your IDE to the ZIP file containing the source code for your JRE/JDK - thus your IDE knows what to show you when want to open up String.class
Now it seems that you are using other libraries as well. Maybe maybe, other libraries, have other, different source code ZIP files?!
Long story short: you need to add "source code" ZIPs for each and any additional library you are using and that you want to "peek into".
Within eclipse, you achieve that for example as described in that SO q/a. Side note: that is also something to keep in mind: you should do prior research before coming up with "new" questions. Especially when you are a beginner, you can be very sure that "your" question was asked here before.
I'm trying to link a custom library to a document that will be copied and shared with many people. I want to have all documents link to the latest version of the library, so when I modify the library I don't have to access all the documents to change the link.
This is the scenario:
I created a simple single function library (e.g. library TestLib, function foo()), and saved a first version of it. Then I've created a SpreadSheet with a script that generates a user menu that calls function TestLib.foo(). I've linked version 1 of the library to the script. Now I want to make several copies of the document, one for each people who will need it. The problem is that these documents are linked to version 1 of the library. If I made a change to the library and create a version 2, I have to manually re-link all documents to the new version. That's gonna be lot of work...
Is there a way to have the script to always link to the latest version?
NOTE: the library project is shared in read-only mode (people won't collaborate with the code. They just call foo() from the menu when needed).
Thank!
MIX
I made a new test, trying to overtake the version "limitation" problem.
The idea is a little complicated, but promising. The spreadsheet calls a function in library LinkLib: this library will be saved in a single version and the source code will never modified. The library function simply calls a function on another library (MainLib), whom source code can change over time. Spreadsheet doesn't need to change the version of the linked library (there will never be new version of BaseLib source code), while BaseLib can change the version of MainLib linked if I made changes in MainLib's source code..
The problem is: changing the version of a linked resource is treated as a source code modification. So you need to save a new version of BaseLib to actually use an updated version of MainLib's function.
Hope this mess is somewhat clear...
It makes sense that the described version management behave like this. But damn, I'm still stuck with this problem...
this is possible but with a risk. simply use "development mode" for all documents using the library. whenever you update the library it will include the new code automatically.
the risks are that you will have to be careful to never save an intermediate/partial change as all changes need to not break anything. this can be tricky and is best to have a separate library copy to use when making and testing changes. once tested you may copy all files and "save all" together so the script doesnt have partial saves.
basically you lose the development facilities of using versions.
read more about library development mode in the official docs.
I'd like to create a package containing a series of snippets that incorporate user-definable variables. For example, I'd like the user to be able to provide a value for a variable called HOSTNAME and have the snippets include that user's value.
The Sublime Text Unofficial Documentation explains:
Snippets have access to contextual information in the form of environment variables. Sublime Text automatically sets the values of the variables listed below.
You can also add your own variables to provide extra information. These custom variables are defined in .sublime-options files.
I've had no luck finding any information on the syntax for a .sublime-options file, however, and Sublime does not seem to try to read a file with that extension when I save it anywhere under the Packages directory. Is this a typo?
Using a .tmPreferences file seems to do what I'm looking for. Is this the only method of getting user-defined values into a snippet? Is it possible to use a .sublime-settings file?
The .sublime-options, actually, is the .sublime-settings. .sublime-options were the ST1 files and the docs got outdated, BUT you use the wrong link, you should always check and switch in the sidebar on the left to your version - ST2, ST3.
And to answer your question, you need to put the variables in .tmPreferences as may be seen here
I have a reference to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime (scrrun.dll) in one of my Access projects. If I open the object browser in VBA (by pressing F2) and choose 'Scripting' from the library dropdown it shows me all of the properties, functions, etc. for the Scripting library. If I choose one of these functions and then click on the help button (with the yellow question mark) it opens a help window with the title of 'Microsoft Visual Basic Help.'
It acts like it is unable to find the help file for this library. I can manually find the help file on my computer at the following location: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\VBA\VBA6\1033\VBLR6.CHM". (Note: I have 64-bit Win 7, thus the '(x86)' in the Program Files folder name.)
I tried copying the help file to the following locations with no luck:
"C:\Windows\Help\VBLR6.CHM"
"C:\Windows\SysWOW64\VBLR6.CHM" (I believe SysWOW64 folder is the Win7 64-bit equivalent of C:\Windows\System32)
I have had this same problem with other referenced libraries as well, so I'm looking for some kind of generic solution. I'm hoping there is some way to specify a location for the help file of a particular reference, or something else along those lines.
Copy VBLR6.CHM to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office10\1033\VBENLR98.CHM"
That's the short answer for this specific case...here's how to get there which may be useful for getting other help files associated:
Download Process Monitor (currently hosted here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx or do a Google search for Process Monitor)
Run Process Monitor with the following filter: 'Process Name' 'is' MSOHelp.exe 'include'
Open object browser in VBA
Choose the library (Scripting in this case)
Choose any function, property, or event in the library and click on the yellow question mark (this should open an empty window with the title Microsoft Visual Basic Help)
Go back to Process Monitor and scroll all the way to the bottom of the list; make sure the Path and Result columns are displayed
There should be dozens of 'PATH NOT FOUND' and 'NAME NOT FOUND' Results in the list. For each one of these results, there should be a corresponding Path where MSOHelp was looking for the help file. Choose any one of these and create a file with that path name. I chose to create a copy of the help file from its original location to the new spot and rename it to match what MSOHelp was looking for.
My best guess is that the scrrun.dll contains the name of the help file and over the years the dll stayed the same but the help file was renamed, modified, etc.
I created a CHM help file using MadCap Flare. When I search for a term that I know is present in my text, the search function always reports "no topics found."
How can I fix the search function?
In my case the problem was fixed by registering itcc.dll on the machine where Flare is installed (the machine building the CHM.)
C:\> regsvr32 itcc.dll
The file is included with MadCap Flare as well as the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop.
I have also found an article indicating that the language setting of the help file can affect the search function.
Here is the Getting Started Guide. Chapter 4 has a section about Search, which might prove useful.
