Exactly how are you trying to run them? If it requires a Beta function, you need to use Alt-F5 vice F5 to run it, for example.

As far as I can see the "Open this Script" button are missing.

Most likely because of your browser or browser settings because the helpfile is a compiled html file.

You are right "Open this Script" button is missing, how to fix this problem?

This sounded familiar and recent, so I searched a little and found a fix posted by Jos: opening an example inside AutoIt.chm in SciTE

I'm not sure. The problem before was the button didn't work. It was always at least present. Did you install the full SciTE4AutoIt3, or just the minimal version that is packed with AutoIt?

Don't think that will do much to solve this issue

The only reason for this issue I have seen till now is that there is a problem with the registration of hhctrl.ocx which was solved by doing the this command: regsvr32 hhctrl.ocx

Maybe there is another problem with hhctrl.ocx

What is the specific question about the helpfile?

You can view the source of the page that contains the reference to the ocx. We are using a standardly available option to open the script.

Some kind of policy or preference, local to his computer, blocking ActiveX? Just completely guessing now.

Just curious, just to the left of that is a display button. Does that button appear? It looks as if the image is missing... Has it always been like this? And have you tried reinstalling? I would also check into your internet explorer internet options.

I think the missing images is the button.

this is an example of the code used in the html page:

<OBJECT id=hhctrl type="application/x-oleobject" classid="clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11" width=58 height=57>
<PARAM name="Command" value="ShortCut">
<PARAM name="Button" value="Text:Open this Script">
<PARAM name="Item1" value=",Examples\HelpFile\If.au3,">
</OBJECT>

Problem still exists...

I still have the same problem as well. I've tried all of the above t-shooting steps but I only get an X where the image should be. (non-clickable)

It appears in the code when I view source but something must be blocking it.

[Dolemite50]

Sorry to revive an old topic but it might help somebody retain a few handfuls of hair.

Sometime after installing Win7 the issue returned. (Helpfile example shows only an X where the "Open Script" button should be)

I finally tracked down the culprit to being HHCtrl Object installed but somehow disabled.

I had this problem once, I fixed it by reinstalling Windows

Hehe, I think that's how I cleverly resolved it the first time.

...and also how I cleverly broke it again this time.

[Jos]

Have you tried running this command at the commandprompt ? :

regsvr32 hhctrl.ocx

Hi Jos,,

Ya, I even tried it using your script:

expandcollapse popup

; Scriptname: FixHelpFileExamples.au3
; Script to fix Registry setting for SciTE/AutoIt3/Helpfile Open Button
;
If Not FileExists(@ScriptDir & '\Autoit3.exe') then
    MsgBox(16,"Autoit3.exe error",'File Autoit3.exe not found. Place this script in the AutoIt3 program directory and run it again.')
    Exit
EndIf
If Not FileExists(@ScriptDir & '\SciTE\SciTE.exe') then
    MsgBox(16,"SciTE.exe error",'File ..\SciTE\SciTE.exe not found. Something is not installer the standard way. Exiting.')
    Exit
EndIf
$Open_SciTe = '"' & @ScriptDir & '\SciTE\SciTE.exe" "%1"'
$Edit_SciTe = '"' & @ScriptDir & '\SciTE\SciTE.exe" "%1"'
$Run_SciTe = '"' & @ScriptDir & '\AutoIt3.exe" "%1" %*'
$Open = RegRead("HKCR\AutoIt3Script\Shell\Open\Command", "")
$Edit = RegRead("HKCR\AutoIt3Script\Shell\Edit\Command", "")
$Run = RegRead("HKCR\AutoIt3Script\Shell\Run\Command", "")
$FixedOpen = RegRead("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.au3", "Application")
; Check for "Always open with settings 
If $FixedOpen <> "" Then
    If MsgBox(4, "Override setting for Open on .AU3", 'You have specified to "Always Open" with:' & @CRLF & $FixedOpen & _
            @CRLF & " But this should be removed and the standard setting should be used!" & _
            @CRLF & @CRLF & "Click Yes to Remove this Keys") = 6 Then
        $rc = RegDelete("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.au3", "Application")
        ConsoleWrite('-RegDelete ("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.au3", "Application") $rc = ' & $rc & "  @Error=" & @error & @CRLF)
    Else
        ConsoleWrite('! Override setting for Open on .AU3 not removed' & @CRLF)
    EndIf
Else
    ConsoleWrite('+No Open override on .au3.' & @CRLF)
EndIf
; Check Edit Settings
If $Edit <> $Edit_SciTe Then
    If MsgBox(4, "Edit Settings for AU3", 'Your "Edit" settings are currently:' & @CRLF & $Edit & @CRLF & " But should be:" & @CRLF & $Edit_SciTe & @CRLF & @CRLF & " Update?") = 6 Then
        $rc = RegWrite("HKCR\AutoIt3Script\Shell\Edit\Command", "", "REG_SZ", $Edit_SciTe)
        ConsoleWrite('-RegWrite Edit $rc = ' & $rc & "  @Error=" & @error & @CRLF)
    EndIf
Else
    ConsoleWrite('+Edit already set to default = ' & $Edit & @CRLF)
EndIf
; Check Open Settings
If $Open <> $Open_SciTe Then
    If MsgBox(4, "Open Settings for AU3", 'Your "Open" settings are currently:' & @CRLF & $Open & @CRLF & " But should be:" & @CRLF & $Open_SciTe & @CRLF & @CRLF & " Update?") = 6 Then
        RegWrite("HKCR\AutoIt3Script\Shell\Open\Command", "", "REG_SZ", $Open_SciTe)
        ConsoleWrite('-RegWrite Open $rc = ' & $rc & "  @Error=" & @error & @CRLF)
    EndIf
Else
    ConsoleWrite('+Open already set to default = ' & $Open & @CRLF)
EndIf
; Check Run Settings
If $Run <> $Run_SciTe Then
    If MsgBox(4, "Run Setting for AU3", 'Your "Run" settings are currently:' & @CRLF & $Run & @CRLF & " But should be:" & @CRLF & $Run_SciTe & @CRLF & @CRLF & " Update?") = 6 Then
        RegWrite("HKCR\AutoIt3Script\Shell\Run\Command", "", "REG_SZ", $Run_SciTe)
        ConsoleWrite('-RegWrite Run $rc = ' & $rc & "  @Error=" & @error & @CRLF)
    EndIf
Else
    ConsoleWrite('+Run already set to default = ' & $Run & @CRLF)
EndIf
;
;Ensure hhctrl is properly registered
$rc = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c regsvr32 hhctrl.ocx", "", @SW_HIDE)
ConsoleWrite('+RegSvr $rc = ' & $rc & @CRLF)

I think a safety net to that script would be to also ensure that the ocx is enabled. (which was my problem)

Sorry to be a pain in the ass, I have no idea how it got disabled.
