There´s no Script open button under the example in the help file

[Manlius]

Hey guys,

in my help file there is no script open button under the example. I´ve read the FAQ about this but after I´ve done this advice it still doesn´t work. I´ve replaced the hhctrl.ocx file with min. 5 other hhctrl.ocx files and i´ve registerd every hhctrl.ocx file.

Thanks

Manlius

mhm...i´ve downloaded the latest beta and i toogled to the beta, too. But the button is still away.

Don't think there is anything fixed in the beta version for the Helpfile itself. I think the fix was to open the helpfile from Within SciTE with F1.

What exactly is your problem?

Is the button shown?

Have you tried the reregister the ocx with : regsvr32 hhctrl.ocx ?

AutoIt Beta v3.3.5.4 fixed help for me. You could also try this

The button is just away^^ It looks like here:

And yes i´ve tried to register it lots of times.

@picaxe

I´ve used this script but the problem is still "avaible".

Sorry for my English^^

That looks like the German version of the help file and the issue may be associated with something they did when they were doing the translation. The translation shouldn't have affected that part but you can't be sure of anything. Try bringing the question up on the German forum.

Try the English helpfile but I think there is something wrong with your PC's OS/settings.

[Manlius]

I had already tried the English Help File. But there was the same problem.

[Jos]

Expected that. Check to make sure you don't have multiple versions of hhctrl.ocx and possible the wrong one registered.

Just a heads up Jos. That code for the button will fail if HTML Help Workshop is installed, I'll send you the details later but you may have to write your own ActiveX control to make it work properly. However that is not causing this image issue.

I have had HTML workshop installed since day one of the helpfile creation and have never experienced any problems with it.

This is on several PC's both with WinXP and Win7.

Curious about your finding,

Would I be wrong in thinking it could be a firewall/popup blocker, blocking the image, as it openes a file on local computer ?

The helpfile is HTML based and I know that when you download it or run it from a share you have to allow to open the HTML pages first.

Not sure if any anti-Malware or Anti-Virus would cause this piece of HTML to me disabled.

[GEOSoft]

Well this sucks. It seems to be working fine so I suspect it was just the function that I tried it on and I don't remember what function it was now. The error message box most definitly came from the HTML Help Editor.

I'll get back to you if I can find the function again.

And giving it more thought, I don't see where my theory could be correct becuase the pages all use the same code for that button AFAIK. Impossible to retrace my steps that far back too.

The only thing that is important for the button to work is that the helpfile is opened with the proper working directory which needs to be the Autoit3 program directory or else the example files aren't found as they have a relative reference.

Now that you mention it, I might have opened the help file with F1 in Scite and then tried the button from there. I don't have to mention the possibilities that opens up.

EDIT: I'll leave this up to you for now since I'm about to switch back to the laptop and you know the story there, no way of testing anything.

This is why we have the this command for F1 to set the workdir correctly and properly open the helpfile on the selected keyword:

$(autoit3dir)\Autoit3Help.exe "$(CurrentWord)"
