concept assistance needed

Bert · June 6, 2006

I have started work on making a add-on for the AutoIt help file. Now before you start flaming me, hear me out. Let me make one thing clear from the start: THIS WILL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES DIRECTLY TO THE HELP FILE. I have no intention of tampering with the CHM file, nor will I entertain the idea of it. With that said, let me continue..

One big pet peeve I have with the help file is that you can't add a note to a help file entry. I also like to be able to add a code example to the entry. The best way to describe what I'm wanting to do is think of a text book. You want to be able to write in it, highlight text that you feel is important, and so forth. How I'm thinking the thing will work:

1. A tool bar will be used that will sit to the right of the Print button. This will allow for the tool bar to be moved in case the "hide/show" button is clicked.

2. Any information that is added will be put in a INI file. This will allow for any updates to the help file, while keeping the information you added intact.

3. In referencing the information in the help file, I plan to use the header on the right pane as a reference point. Example: The header has "Function Reference" for text, and the command is listed as "ControlClick". The INI entry would be listed as:

Section - [Function Reference - ControlClick]
Key - note = "anything you like"
Key - code1 = "path to first example.au3 file, key - code2 = "path to second example.au3 file, and so forth.
Key - highlight1 = "text that is highlighted", Key - highlight2 = "text that is highlighted" and so forth

4. The buttons to be present on the tool bar are:

Add comments - This will let you add a comment to the current item being displayed. This information will be displayed in a GUI that will allow for you to edit. If a comment was added to a item, the button will display "Edit comments"
Add code example - This will allow for you to add a code example. You will first have to save the example to a au3 file. Then click "add code example", and point to where the file is. It would be a good idea to have a folder in the AutoIt directory specific to this task.
View code examples - This will allow for you to view any code examples you have added for the item currently being displayed. If there are no items listed, the button will be grayed out. If you select a code example, it will open in your editor for review.
Highlight - This will allow for you to highlight any text in the item listed.
Function - Someone provided you a cool function, and you want to catalog it. You have to save it as a au3 in the include folder, then you can add notes on what it does, and examples on how to use.

I suspect the tough problem will be making the highlight tool. Also, if someone has a idea of what else would be good to add or a better way to do it, let me know. As always, if someone wants to help, by all means please do! I'm not the best at coding, and I can use all the assistance I can get.

Bump....I would think someone would have dropped a comment about this.....

Bump....I would think someone would have dropped a comment about this.....

Displaying your annotations inside the HTML Help will actually be pretty easy. Creating an interface allowing you to select text, add and store annotations will be much more complex although doable.

You can interact with the HTML Help control using IE.au3 T2.0 e.g.:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IE_Attach("AutoItHelp", "embedded")
_IELinkClickByText($oIE, "Aut2Exe")oÝ÷ Ù.q©ëy§máÓ0·ë¢kaz zÈ§©òÁ¬¬w%¹Ø§«¢+ØÀÌØíÍ!Q50ô}%  ½åI!Q50 ÀÌØí½%¤

You can register navigation cmplete events on the document that will allow you to sense when a new page is loaded and take appropriate action...

Just some ideas to start with.

Bert · June 6, 2006

Thanks Dale, this will help alot.

DaleHohm · June 6, 2006

Thanks Dale, this will help alot.

This actually makes a good example. Here is is cleaner, event driven and commented. Feel free to slice and dice and use as your own... It reacts to helppage display changes and if it inserts custom annotation text when the page matches a section or function you have specified. Putting together an interface for saving an annotation for the currently displayed page would be pretty simple as well.

#include <IE.au3>
    
; Start the Helpfile if necessary
If Not WinExists("AutoIt Help") Then
    Run("hh.exe " & @ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3\beta\AutoIt.chm")
    WinWait("AutoIt Help")
EndIf
    
; Get the window handle
Local $hAutoItHelp = WinGetHandle("AutoIt Help")
    
; Attach with IE.au3
Local $oIE = _IEAttach ($hAutoItHelp, "embedded")
    
; Set up an event sink so that we can trigger on page loads
$oEvent = ObjEvent($oIE, "Evt_")
    
; The inital page load is already done... refresh so that event fires
_IEAction($oIE, "refresh")
    
; Exit is the window closes
While WinExists($hAutoItHelp)
    Sleep(500)
WEnd
    
Exit
    
Func Evt_onload()
    ; This function will be fired whenever a new help page loads
    
    ; Get a reference to the first H1 tag, then its text
    Local $o_object = @COM_EventObj
    Local $oSection = _IETagNameGetCollection ($o_object, "h1", 0)
    Local $sSectionText = $oSection.innerText
    
    ; When Section is "Function Reference", the next element is the function name
    ; Get a reference to the function name, then its text
    Local $oFunction = $oSection.nextSibling
    Local $sFunctionText = $oFunction.innerText
    
    Switch $sSectionText
        Case "Introduction"
            Annotate($oSection, "This is an example of helpfile annotation through AutoIt and IE.au3")
        Case "Software License"
            Annotate($oSection, "It doesn't get any better than this...")
        Case "Function Reference"
            Switch $sFunctionText
                Case "HotKeySet"
                    Annotate($oFunction, "Function Reference, Keyboard Control, HotKeySet" & _
                    "<p>HotKeySet is a very useful function...")
                Case "Send"
                    Annotate($oFunction, "Stuff about Send<p>Send(foobar)")
                Case Else
                    ;;;;
            EndSwitch
        Case Else

Maaan, this one is to impressive to be true. I don't have words. Thanks Dale.

So all that has to be done to create a collaborating environment is to have a editor like @vollyman has suggested and then have a option to post your notes to a wiki.

The managing application could have a option to download notes from the wiki. Or at least tags showing that there is a note about the page.

I'm glad the experienced coders are taking interest in this. I was trying to explain the concept to my wife, and I also came up with another reason for this: I will code something, and get some help in doing it. 3 months later, I'm in the forum again hunting down what I did, if I remember what I did (my wife claims I have the memory of a nat) Having the ability to save the information in this format I propose would make it much easier.

I've done that, going back to look in this forum for something previously found. Annotation of the help file is an interesting idea. Keep in mind the technique will have to survive constantly replacing the primary help file as the Betas get churned out... :-)

DaleHohm · June 7, 2006

Maaan, this one is to impressive to be true. I don't have words. Thanks Dale.

Yeah, it is pretty cool isn't it

It's the DllCall routines for attaching to an embedded control that Larry/Valik wrote that make it possible.

You'll want to take a look back at the code I posted as I updated it after you took your snapshot... significant, but easy changes... instead of calling the onload function manually I do a refresh and instead of using $oIE as a global variable I use the @COM_EventObj macro in the event routine. Much cleaner and also it appears to be more reliable.

Modified my post to reflect your changes Dale. Thanks.

Bert · June 7, 2006

@PsaltyDS: The technique I came up with should allow for changes to the help file for the most part. If a command gets a name change, that will be a problem. The user will need to go into the ini to rename it to fix. The only big headache will be the highlight tool, and that will take some trial and error to see if I can get that working. I've never tried to make something like that, so it should be fun.

To be honest, I got sidetracked by other stuff, and hadn't looked into this for a while. This is wonderful work, but I'm getting errors when I run it. I was looking to see if someone had done something like this already with a custom helpfile reader. I didn't have much luck, but what I did notice was Val had a web page open in an AutoIt window. I thought about how hard it would be to have a helpfile viewer that did what we wanted. The errors I got when I tested it:

To be honest, I got sidetracked by other stuff, and hadn't looked into this for a while. This is wonderful work, but I'm getting errors when I run it. I was looking to see if someone had done something like this already with a custom helpfile reader. I didn't have much luck, but what I did notice was Val had a web page open in an AutoIt window. I thought about how hard it would be to have a helpfile viewer that did what we wanted. The errors I got when I tested it:

Like the requirements say, you need the latest version of IE.au3.

Something I would like thats similar is user comments added to the online language refrence.

The PHP language reference has an online verison that lets anyone add their comments post example of weird code behaviour, work arrounds for bugs.. whatever.

A lot of time if I was having a particular problem with some PHP syntax, someone else would have already explained what is going wrong and how to fix it in one of the comments.

@Bigdaddy: I'm running the latest beta, and I downloaded IE.au3 from your link Not sure why it is bombing on my rig. I'm on 14.4 right now, but I should be able to test on a different rig when I get home. I think this laptop is nutty..

14.4? My god, I can walk to the developer of the site/product and put his information on CD and walk back home faster

That should be all you need. However by the errors you posted before I'm possitive its somehow using an older version of IE.au3.

Try the _IEVersionInfo() function... if running in SciTe it will display a console message with the version information. If running outside SciTe, use the array it returns to get the version info.

I was at the beach, and had to use my cell phone as a modem to dial into my home PC. It limits you to 14.4 on a data connection. No wireless in range to speak of, and my laptop is a old clunker to boot. I'm on my home rig now, with broadband.
