wxwidgets 2.9.0: wx.chm file

Post by tigerbeard »

I am having a problem to search in the new Doxygen Based Help. It always gives me "No topics found". Old 2.8 file works fine.

Only thing I noted was it didn't ask me to build an index when I opened it for the first time.

Ideas welcome.

I could reproduce it on several computers. Really strange.
Would be helpful to know that s.o. got it working on their system. Thanks.

I dont remember the tab, but you type in and it searches automatically. For example, typing in "wxStringTo" will bring among other results, wxStringTokenizer then double click will do the Job :)

Thanks for your feedback. I have the same behaviour under the Tab "Index". Does this work for you in the Tab "Search" as well?

Nope it doesn't.
It is redundant since you can search at the other tab. I think it shoul have been in m$ windows recycle bin ;)

Unfortunately its not redundant, because the search index is by far larger. For example try to search for "EVT_CHECKBOX". Index Tab does not find anything, Search Tab leads you into the wxCheckBox page to the error handling section (2.8.0. chm file).

Is really nobody using that? Searching on "Index" Tab would be an efficiency nightmare for me...

Thanks for that hint. Chris Elliott hat a look at it and found a solution for the problem. There is a corrected wx.chm file available now at
http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/Daily_HEAD/Win/

Thanks Chris for your support.

It does. Just scroll below the list of member functions and click on "List of all members". This will also show the inherited functions. Among them is Clear().

Actually, I think its a quite useful feature of the new doxygen version of the help file.

I have this trouble with the 2.8.11 wx.chm file:
- nothing is found in the search tab
- index tab just contains one member of a class

Is there also a patched chm-file for 2.8.11?

I would not know about patches of that one, but I can recommend contacting the
wx-users/Dev list
If you can give them a precise and reproducible problem description I am sure you will find excellent support.

Problem can be solved by extracting the files from the wx.htb helpfile and generating a new wx.chm from wx.hhp with HtmlHelpWorkshop.
