Screen (5 ?) by JetCAM

Dave,

Regarding your points abpout corruption.  The problem is that the MACH screen file format doesn't store the information the way I'd like,  so some of the editor's calculations will differ definately differ from those in MACH.  The editor is best used to construct brand new screens.

Hi Stan,

I'm one of those that can't get the Help files to show. I've deleted the *.ini files, so the newly created *.ini shows my local pathname... but still no help topics available.

I there a default directory location for the application that will enable the Help data?

Otherwise... great work!!! Hope you don't get discouraged with the wave of "wants" that will come at you. Many of us are greatful for any added tools toward developing our own "Best Screens".

Thanks, Paul - Central OR

Hi Paul,

The help file is named ScrEdit.chm and is found in the screen editor program directory (where the program resides).
Try double clicking the help file from windows explorer.  If it still doesn't show,  then either the file is corrupted,  or maybe you are using an older version of Windows.  This is the first time I've heard of this problem.

Normally,  the help file should show when you click the [Help] button (found above the [About] button) from inside the editor program.  At least that's what is happening here.

If you still have problems,  let me know and try to provide any additional details about your setup that you may think are relevant.

Hi Stan,

Tried that, and still get "Action canceled - Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you requested. The page might be temporarily unavailable." on the flash screen and "The page cannot be displayed" when selecting topics.

I even put the "Editor" folder in the root directory to resolve any pathname isssues... still no glory. 

My system has the latest updates (see attached).

Thanks for the resopnse, Paul - Central OR

Paul,

Thanks for that info.  I've never seen that before.  I have pretty much the same setup as you so it should be working.
I'll investigate the problem,  and if you wish in the meantime,  you might want to try downloading the editor again in case the problem is file corruption.  This is highly possible if the software was zipped.

Paul,
I did a search on the internet for a possible cause to the problem.

Here's a link that may help fix the problem on your machine.

Scroll down to the April 10 topic.

I also looked at some Microsoft Developer topics and it seems the problem may be related to security updates for the Windows OS.

Hi Stan,

Unblocking the file took care of the problem.

I decompiled the .chm and the problem appears to be in the "Welcome.htm" file. It is trying to access (Active-X?) my computer, and triggers my security setup. There are some external calls such as:

<!--(Links)=========================================================-->

<link rel="StyleSheet" href="default.css">





<script language="javascript" src="ehlpdhtm.js"></script>

The ehlpdhtm.js contains:

//{{HH_SYMBOL_SECTION
var HH_ChmFilename = "C:\\D5Source\\Screen Editor\\DLLs\\Mach\\RoboHelp\\Jetcam Screen Editor.chm";

Look in the help in the topic Item Properties|Other Property Sheets|Function
See ScanCode,  I think this has what you are looking for.

Ah ha - that works now. If you could add a display to the side that gives an actual lisitng of the keys that would be great.

Cheers

Dave,

I have no idea what you mean.
