Any way to implement a "Do not show this again" checkbox control in AIR Help?

Hi all,

My client is delivering client-side AIR Help only with their product. They want to have the AIR Help open automatically to the default "What's New" topic when the user first opens the software. That seems straight forward, but how do we implement a "do not show this again" checkbox? Is there a way to do this with custom form controls/scripts that is supported in AIR Help?

Thanks,

Katie

    Why not use a cookies to store the value? Then when the default page loads, use document.location.href to navigate to the correct page depending on whether the cookie is set.

    Can you use cookies with locally installed programs, which is what AIR help is? Aren't cookies for website only?

    This would have to be handled programmatically from the application. There is no solution from within RoboHelp.

    Thanks, Colum. I was afraid that was the answer :-).
