Hi All,

I want my browse sequences to show up from my merged .chm files. Right now the master chm file that they are merged into shows its own. But only some of the merged help files are showing theirs. How would I go about getting them all to appear? I've checked that the check box to enable them is checked in the defined window and that that window is being used in both master and sub projects.

Thanks,

Jared

I fixed this. I had to delete and then add back in all the merged TOC references for the sub .chm projects, allowing PC-DMIS to copy those sub .chms into my project directory.

Hi Jared,
Have you tried, deleting the sub-project reference in the master TOC and readding it.

Hi Jared.

Merged projects handle browse sequences in the following fashion:

1/ If you have browse sequences in your master project, these are displayed first in the drop down list in alphabetical order.

2/ If there are browse sequences in your slave projects these are displayed in the drop down below those in the master - again in aplhabetical order. For example if project master has a master_BS browse sequence and two slave projects have a BS1 in project 1 and BS2 is in project 2, they are displayed in Master_BS, BS1 and BS2 order.

3/ If the topic displayed is not part of a browse sequence, the first browse sequence is displayed in the toolbar BUT notice that no topic is highlighted.

4/ Open a topic that is part of a browse sequence and you'll find not only that the browse sequence is displayed but the topic is highlighted in the toolbar.

Are you saying you are getting different results? If so, do the browse sequences work OK when each project is viewed independently?

Thanks Colum.

What I'm saying is that my sub project has browse sequences turned on but they aren't showing up in the merged list in the toolbar when I view the sub project from within the master help file. I mainly want them to show up in the horizontal bar I have above my topic.

Note that If I open up just the sub project, the browse sequences do appear just fine.

Anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this?

Thanks!

Jared
