CustomHelp not working

Hi there,
I tried to use the StiOptions.Designer.CustomHelp class:
Code: Select all
AddHandler StiOptions.Designer.CustomHelp.RunCustomHelp, AddressOf StiDesigner_RunCustomHelp
StiOptions.Designer.CustomHelp.ShowCustomHelp = True
but without success. When pressing F1 the original help is shown and the RunCustomHelp event is never thrown. What I'm missing here? Using latest pre-release 2014.2.1918.
Thank you,
Markus

Hello.
The CustomHelp class doesn't work as you expected.
Could you specify what do you need to do and we'll give you a suggestion.
Thank you.

Hello Aleksey,
I would like to show a reference documentation of the provided business classes instead of the default help in the Windows Forms Report Designer. How can this be achieved?
Thank you very much for your support,
Kind regards,
Markus

Hello.
It's possible to remove our help only.
Do you need to show your reference documentation when pressing F1 only?
Thank you.

Hi,
Yes - the reference documentation should be shown when pressing F1 in the main designer window. A help button with the same functionality would be great too
Thank you,
Markus

Hello.
Do you use StiDesignerControl or open it with Design method?
Thank you.

Hello.
Unfortunately, it's impossible now.
You could create your own form with StiDesignerControl and disable our help with next options:
Code: Select all
StiOptions.Appearance.ShowTooltipsHelp = false;
StiOptions.Appearance.ShowFormsHelp = false;
StiOptions.Appearance.ShowFormsHints = false;
Thank you.

Hi,
would it be possible to add a button to the ribbon bar (Design method)? I checked out the StiDesignerControl but the window isn't paint perfectly...
Thank you,
Markus

Hello, Markus.
We use third party component to create ribbon toolbar.
Unfortunately, it's impossible to add buttons there.
Thank you.
