Help in AutoIt v3.3.14.2

[kcvinu]

I knew that this will end like this.  There is already a lot of suggestions from you are pending now. Infaxt my LUA learning was paused since 2015 Dec. Any way, I can make script that do this work. But how can i attach that script to SciTE as a menu item under File menu. (Not in the tools menu)

Probably because we went down this avenue before if I remember correctly. It just surprises me that people want stuff but preferably have it done by me or others. 
I will in case I am convinced it is for the greater good, else you have do it yourself....  fair enough?  

Look at the au3.properties for how to link functions/programs to shortcuts and/or tools menu. The SciTE4AutoIt3 helpfile contains the SciTE helppage which explains each of the used keywords.

AutoIt Help does not open if you don't save the current SciTE4 you are working on.
For example you open SciTE Script Editor and start a new script, write anything and save that script, once is saved then you can open the Help.

Look like a "bug" on the Editor.

Another way is to manually open it from the Start Menu you will have a Shortcut to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\AutoIt.chm" This is the Help File.

You should look for FileRead()

Happy Coding.

Hi Alien and all,

Thank you so much for the kind and prompt help! Now I know how to get "Help" to work :-)

Best regards,

Hi,

I installed the 3.3.14.2 today. But now I'm facing a problem with the help file. It triggers a security warning:

Why is this? I had no problem with the help file in version 3.3.12.xx.

And if I click "Run" then it will open but all pages are empty. There is no difference whether the file lays on a network drive or a local one.

Any clue? Conrad

Right click the AutoIt.chm file and click the Unblock button on the General tab.

Hi BrewManNH,

there is no button with this files.

I found a half solution. I zipped and unzipped AutoIt.chm and AutoIt3Help.exe. Then this security window is skipped because computer thinks now it's a local file.

But a new problem comes. If both files are on a local drive (C:\) all is fine. But my local space is limited at 20MB by admin. So I have to take a network drive.

If I press F1 on SciTE and the command is 'networkdrive\AutoIt3\AutoIt.chm" "$(CurrentWord)"' then the help file opens correctly. But I can't pass "$(CurrentWord)" to the chm.

If I press F1 on SciTE and the command is 'networkdrive\AutoIt3\AutoIt3Help.exe" "$(CurrentWord)"' then I don't see any content but the register on the right.

I know, that it should be a problem with registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\HHRestrictions]
"MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions]
"MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000001

But I'm not allowed to change these.

Any suggestions?

How passes AutoIt3Help.exe "$(CurrentWord)" to the chm? Maybe I can script an own Help.exe passing "$(CurrentWord)" to the chm?
