HHC.exe command process hangs indefinitely
Mittwoch, Oktober 21st, 2009Having all the needed files to compile a chm, but when you run the hhc.exe command, the process hangs indefinitely.
We learned that some Windows updates caused the hhc.exe to unregister itself. A batch file that re-registered the server .dlls for the HTMLHelp workshop may work for you. Ran it every Wednesday morning. Rebooting the server also clears this situation.
Converting WinHelp projects to HTMLHelp
Freitag, September 26th, 2008HHPMod is a software tool created by Sid Penstone for converting WinHelp projects to HTML Help format. It rewrites the project created by HTML Workshop to restore the original Context IDs and the context-sensitive support files.
As a result of a contact from a user with a very large WinHelp project Sid has modified HHPMod to remove the limit on the number of topic files that it will handle. It has been tested with more than 2000 topics, and should handle as many as HTML Workshop can process. As well as handling much large numbers of topic files, it identifies files containing graphical “hot spots” for manual editing, and has fixed some display bugs.
The new version is 2.5.9, replacing 2.4.8. Download from Sid’s web site http://post.queensu.ca/~penstone/ .
ms-its jumps with target bug
Samstag, August 9th, 2008When the user clicks an ms-its jump that includes a target in another CHM file, the topic appears at the correct target location, but the css styles are not applied and the graphics do not appear. Clicking refresh loads the graphics and styles.
Here’s an example jump:
<A href=”ms-its:filename.chm::html/TroubleShooting.htm#checklist”>
You can work around the css problem by referencing the css in the <head> section of your HTML files using the ms-its protocol but that doesn’t fix the graphic issue.
The solution is to replace “ms-its:” with the older “mk:@MSITStore:” scheme.
XAML displayed in a CHM help file
Samstag, Januar 19th, 2008Just want to have some XAML graphs displayed in a help topic and rather have them in a vector format seemed to be a problem. One request was that the user can see without having to install additional plugins (as needed for SVGs).
Assuming that anybody reading a help file about code using WPF/XAML/Silverlight have it installed already and is able to see it. Otherwise a “Get Microsoft Silverlight” is displayed. The Silverlight.js included is the one shipped with the Silverlight SDK.
Download a CHM example (and HTMLHelp Workshop Project) to see how it works.
HHReg available in English and German
Sonntag, Januar 13th, 2008HHReg, a popular free HTML Help registration utility designed by EC-Software has been updated to version 1.2 and now comes with a dual-language binary that contains English and German. HHReg is designed for end users and security is a critical issue! For this reason, HHReg detects the system language and automatically switches the user interface language.
