sigil Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I'm running AutoIt v3.2.12.1, SciTE 1.76. This is a new problem that I didn't previously have. When I put the cursor on a function name, and press F1, the help index should come up, selecting the entry for that function. But today, the index is blank--there are no functions listed. What should I change to make the index populate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted August 6, 2009 Developers Share Posted August 6, 2009 Do you have a file open with an .au3 extension at the time you hit F1?

Developers Jos Posted August 6, 2009 Developers Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) Yes. I have a script open, with the cursor on a function name in that script.Does it show anything in the Outputpane when you press F1?Does your au3.properties still look correct?Are you running a script with F5 at the time you press F1?

I've attached a JPG showing how it looks.Same thing happens when I open the helpfile by clicking on AutoIt3Help.exe.I just noticed this today, although I haven't opened the help file for a couple weeks. This is my work PC, so my IT department might have changed some things in the background without my knowing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developers Jos Posted August 6, 2009 Developers Share Posted August 6, 2009 Same problem. Contents and Search are available, but Index is blank.Strange, I have seen that the content isn't shown but never seen the index being empty.Maybe you can download the zip file and check the helpfiles in there?

yolib Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Do you have AutoIt.chw file in the AutoIt3 folder? I've had a similar problem where the index was empty, and getting that file solved my index problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Run the update tool. That should fix it. Be warned that older scripts may break, and you would need to fix them.
