Thanks, Paulie. I've really appreciated your assistance.

Oh actually it's when the user clicks "My Button."

Ignorant question: How do I return to the Ribbon view from the older toolbar UI?

I'll try to figure out how to associate a command with the item 1 and item 2.

Thanks again!

Evetsm

(First, thanks for helping me along with this.)

Ah, that was indeed the problem.

According to what I read in the tutorial, clicking item 1 or item 2 is supposed to display a dialog that says "I got pressed!"

Is that the behavior in your UI? It is not working for me.

Thanks!

Evetsm

Thank you. I haven't implemented the changes you so kindly did because I first want to locate the new toolbar.

I'm a relatively new Flare user and under the View ribbon I did not see an option to show toolbars. Can you tell me (1) where the option is and (2) where in your UI you see the toolbar ...

paulie,

I installed the dll in the Plugins folder as instructed and started Flare. The plugin is enabled, but I don't see a new toolbar in the UI.

I called the CreateCustombar function from the Initialize function. I've attached the class file that I'm using. Could you please take a look and tell ...

Paulie,

Thanks! That did the trick. I also added all the other numerous references to the project and it built with no errors.

Now I will try using the plugin.

Many thanks!

Hi,

I hope this is the right place to post this question.

I'm working through the Plugin API examples, focusing on "How To Add A Custom ToolBar." The tutorial says to add the following, which I did:
public class ButtonCommand : ICommand
{
public bool CanExecute(object parameter)
{
return true ...

Hi kmorrison,

Well I don't know what I was doing before that caused the error but it is gone now. I obviously made some kind of change to correct the error so I'll have to keep an eye out for the error again.

Thanks!

Thanks, Paul. I'll revisit our process and see if we can align it with what you suggested.

Cheers,

Hi,

I've created a custom div but text within it is not wrapping in PDF output. In the PDF, long lines go clear to the edge of the page and are truncated.

My understanding is that for HTML the content of a div should expand to occupy the space available to the parent element and wrap to the next ...

Evetsm

It looks like the best idea is to continue generating the PDFs and linking to them, rather than go with the generate on demand. Thanks again, Paul and kwag!

Hi Paul,

I was still in the thinking phase. I was thinking definitely of generating a PDF for a document. Also possibly for a single topic -- the topic that a user is currently reading. I'm not sure there would be a need for printing the entire project.

I actually was not aware that a print button ...

Evetsm

Paulie,

Thanks for the tips. I'm using both PDF and HTML output and I built them both. The spacing worked in the HTML but not the PDF, no doubt because I'm still a relatively new Flare user and some of the styling dependencies seem to be complex. If I stick with it I'm sure I'll learn.

I will also ...

Evetsm

Thanks, kwag_myers.

Could you tell me a little more about that Print button? What processes get triggered when you click it?

Thank you!

Evetsm

Hi,

Is it possible to generate PDF output on demand?

Currently we have two targets for each document: HTML5 and PDF. PDF formatting/styles along with issues I've run into seem to be more involved than HTML. I'm still a novice but on occasion I spend a lot of time trying to resolve PDF style issues ...

Evetsm

Paulie,
Thanks.
That did not work. Here is part of a table with <p> elements inside <td> elements

<table style="width: *;mc-table-style: url('../../Resources/TableStyles/parameters_tablestyle.css');" class="TableStyle-parameters_tablestyle" cellspacing="0">
<col class="TableStyle-parameters ...

Evetsm

I know page-level styles are not recommended, but I would like to try this approach for now. I want to increase space after <p> elements that are subordinate to <td> elements, so in the <head> element of a topic I inserted this:

<style>
p td {margin-bottom: 5pt; }
</style>

However, it's not ...

Evetsm

Thanks emsachs. I need help understanding what I see in the Print Options dialog. I think I'm interested in the Page Break options. I need to ensure that the table will break if possible, so I chose "Automatic" for the "Inside" option. Is that correct? All other options on the dialog are set to ...

Evetsm

Hi,

I have a table with a nested table. I noticed in the PDF that the inner table always starts on a new page and I strongly suspect that somewhere, a property has been set such that the table will not break internally at the start of a page. I have absolutely no idea where to look to determine ...

Evetsm

Hi Mike,
I tried as you suggested. I generated a PDF but there was no coloring applied the the target elements. I'm having problems generating the HTML so I can't check there yet.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,

How do I specify colors using the HSL scheme?

I tried a few combinations that I found on the web like this:

Code: Select all

color: hsl(120, 100%, 75%);

But I got errror messages like this:

Code: Select all

CSS: Invalid color: hsl(120, 100%, 75%)

Thank you!

I need to create a table style that allows writers to resize the table itself as well as columns in the table. I created a style with just the default options and applied it to a table. I tried resizing the width of the columns and of the table itself, but the editor kept reverting the table width ...

Evetsm

Thanks, Dave!

Evetsm

Thanks, Dave. I added this to the project's style sheet:
table.TableStyle-MyTableStyle
{
width: 847px !important;
}
And the 847px width is enforced.

Just wondering something. Would it not be possible to enforce the 847px width by opening the table style sheet with the internal text editor and ...

Evetsm

Thanks, kwag. Actually I'm trying to determine if I can set the table width in a table style. I've only seen the ability to set individual column widths.

I'd like the table as a whole to not be resizeable, only the individual columns within it. I need this behavior so that tables always have a ...
