Title: Help_Plugin always on top ??
Post by: Pecan on October 31, 2005, 08:23:18 pm

RE: help_plugin in C::B RC2 wxWidgets 2.6.1

I added ..\wxWidgets261\docs\htmlhelp\wx.chm to the help
plugin settings dialog as the default help file.

When invoked with the context menu, the help window always
stays on top of C::B. I have to either close it or minimize it.
C:B activates (can type in the edit window), but C::B is never on top of
the help window.

Is this the intended behavior, or is XP doing something special
for me??

thanks,
Pecan

Ok, this must be a wxWidgets "feature" as opposed to a "bug".

I wrote a Static wxApp using the help_plugins code and
the CHM help window danced the same "always on top" number
as it did with C::B.

This does not happend with a .hlp file.

Its very irritating since you have to dismiss the CHM help window
to do cut and paste etc.

thanks,
Pecan

Try open a CHM in any program. They always are open in a new windows. It's MS Windows.
Not related to help_plugin nor wxWidgets.
