Question

Does displaying the master TOC in a merged CHM still work under Win7?

Hi all, we used to display the TOC of the master project when any of the merged sub-CHMs are opened. For this, in the merged projects it was necessary to point the advanced properties of the window to the hhc of the master, e.g.:

master.chm::/master.hhc

(see also this topic: Context-Sensitive Help and Merged Projects)

It seems that this does not work any more, no TOC is displayed at all now using this method. Has anybody used this method under Win7 64bit?

What version of RH are you using. There was an issue with absolute path names in RH9 although this was fixed in a patch. Also ensure you have no blanks or underscores in your CHM file names.

I am using the current version RH 11, the file names do not have any blanks or underscores in them. I also created new test projects just named 'master', 'alpha', 'beta' etc to test merging and the problem remains.

I am afraid I gave up using merged CHMs many years ago before Win 64 came along so do not know what more I can add t this thread. It maybe worth trying to compile the master using the Microsoft HTML Help workshop to see if that makes any difference.
