Chart Options Help Button

[Kris C]

Hello,

In the chart options dialog, there is a help button. Right now, when you click it, nothing happens.

Is there a chm that we should be deploying? We do *not* want to deploy the API help. The help should be the for the options dialog.

Thanks,

Hello Kris,

The default option is to include a file called "TeeChartNET4.chm" in the program's executable directory. That's what TeeChart will look for if nothing else has been directed.

There are some downloadable chm files here (library reference and tutorials) that can be renamed to TeeChartNET4.chm if you'd like to use that option. Neither helpfile is specifically for the editor itself though the tutorials include editor screens as part of their explanation.

https://www.steema.com/files/public/tee ... neDocs.zip

Alternatively place your own chm file there.

The option is configurable to use a URL ie:

Code: Select all

Steema.TeeChart.Editor editor = new Steema.TeeChart.Editor(tChart1);

editor.HelpFileName = "https://www.steema.com/docs/TeeChartNETTutorials.htm"; //leave empty for TeeChart's own help
editor.Title = "My Charting App - Chart Editor";

Steema.TeeChart.Editors.ChartEditorOptions[] options = new Steema.TeeChart.Editors.ChartEditorOptions[2];

options[0] = Steema.TeeChart.Editors.ChartEditorOptions.Help;
options[1] = Steema.TeeChart.Editors.ChartEditorOptions.Add;
options[1] = Steema.TeeChart.Editors.ChartEditorOptions.Delete;

editor.Options = options;

editor.ShowModal();

Hi Marc,

Thanks for the reply. We decided to go with the tutorials chm and rename that and include it in our deployment. We confirmed that the help button opens it successfully.
