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.

Perhaps you need to examine the Window definition? Or does the window open with an empty space where the TOC would be?

I used the window name "$global_standard" in all help projects. Is this a problem? I though this naming is necessary.

When I call the merged project with a map number, then the window opens correctly, also the correct topic is displayed. The TOC tab is completely empty (white space).

This is very strange, because if I open the very same CHM by double-clicking then the TOC is present..
