LMD VCL 2019.3 Help not working in RAD Studio XE10.2 IDE

Automasoft di Giaquinto Andrea

Hello,

how I can fix the component help in RAD Studio XE10.2 IDE using F1 on some LMD VCL Component?

I manage to copy the LMD*.chm help file under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\19.0\Help\Doc",

I update the registry section with:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\19.0\Help\HtmlHelp1Files]

"LMD Common Help"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Embarcadero\\Studio\\19.0\\help\\Doc\\lmdshared.chm"

"LMD Packs Help"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Embarcadero\\Studio\\19.0\\help\\Doc\\lmdpacks.chm"

"LMD-Tools Help"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Embarcadero\\Studio\\19.0\\help\\Doc\\lmdtools.chm"

"LMD IDE-Tools Help"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Embarcadero\\Studio\\19.0\\help\\Doc\\lmdidetools.chm"

"LMD ElPack Help"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Embarcadero\\Studio\\19.0\\help\\Doc\\lmdelpack.chm"

"LMD GridPack Help"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Embarcadero\\Studio\\19.0\\help\\Doc\\lmdgrid.chm"

I restart the system but the F1 Help is still not working on any LMD VCL component.

Best Regards

The help installer can integrate the help file into your IDE (make sure checkbox is checked in help installer for integration "Invoke helpfile..").

Whether files are correctly installed and registry setting are correctly set can be evaluated by checking the Help|Third-Party Help menu (all 6 help files should appear here when common designtime package is loaded). If all helpfiles are integrated, F1 help should at least open the correct helpfile then.

Hello,

with LMDDockSite and LMDDockPanel is not working, with F1 and getting Help for Vcl.Controls.TCustomControl.

With LMDExplorerBar I amd getting proper Help.

So not all components with F1 are showing proper help.

LMD DockingPack provides no integrated help. Like for all our latest packages (e.g. NG Packs) CHM or Web-based documentation is provided (http://wiki.lmd.de/index.php/LMD_VCL_-_Tutorials, DockingPack e.g.  http://files.lmd.de/downloads/tutorials/dockingpack/index.html).
