UniHelp Publisher's Description:
UniHelp is an Apple Help Viewer, and a Microsoft HTML Help viewer.... Why waste precious development time designing and compiling a different Help system for each platform when you can easily use UniHelp for all of them? NO additional plugins or classes needed. Just drag the respective UniHelp components folder into your REALbasic project, create your HTML help pages and customize your configuration settings with the UniHelp Edition of HelpLogic, and that's it -- instant online help for your compiled REALbasic applications that works on Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Linux.
You may use the encrypted UniHelp classes in your non-commercial and freeware compiled REALbasic applications Royalty-Free. The Freeware version does NOT include support of any kind.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 3.0:
* [New] - The custom HTML rendering engine has been replaced with REALbasic's HTMLViewer control, providing full support for CSS and all HTML tags!
* [New] - UniHelp's interface has been completely redesigned to be more stylish, compact and language-neutral, replacing text-based tabs with symbolic icon tabs.
* [Opt] - The window splitter control now moves more smoothly with no gray ghost lines, plus it utilizes the REALbasic ArrowEastWest mouse cursor to show that it is moveable.
* [Opt] - With a newly optimized codebase, UniHelp now runs much faster.
* [New] - New UHViewerError method in the UniHelpGlobals module provides you more...with any error messages from the HTMLViewer.Error event.
* [New] - New UHViewerStatus method in the UniHelpGlobals module provides you with the status of the HTMLViewer.IsAvailable property.
* [New] - New UHGradientBG method in the UniHelpGlobals module provides you with the option to turn off the UniHelp toolbar's gradient background if any unwanted redraw flickering occurs on Win32. UniHelp already includes extensive double-buffering code to help reduce flickering, but since REALbasic Win32 apps are notorious for flicker problems, this method provides additional support for flicker prevention.
* [Chg] - Calling help pages within a VirtualVolume is now easier! Now you use the same REALbasic code to call a help page in a VirtualVolume as if you were calling a help page from a standard folder! Plus, media FileTypes are no longer needed for UniHelp and Virtual Volumes!
* [New] - Modified the Constants in the UniHelpGlobals module with various language corrections generously contributed by Stan Busk (Thanks, Stan!)
* [New] - You can now quickly determine the version number of the UniHelp viewer in your REALbasic project by searching for the special query "UniHelp Credits" in UniHelp's Search field.
* [Fix] - If a TOC topic title uses forward slashes in its name, that topic is now properly highlighted in the TOC when displayed in the viewer pane.
* [Chg] - Using REALbasic's HTMLViewer control, only web compatible image formats are supported (such as JPEG, GIF, and PNG). Image formats TIFF, PICT, and BMP are no longer supported in the HTML Viewer.
* [Chg] - Since REALbasic's HTMLViewer control does not currently provide a way to print loaded web pages (as of REALbasic 2007r1), UniHelp's Print feature has been removed. When REAL Software adds print support to the HTMLViewer control, UniHelp's Print feature will be returned in a future version.
* Known Limitation: On Linux, REALbasic's HTMLViewer.StatusChanged event does not fire properly, so the when your cursor mouses over an external URL, that URL does not get displayed in UniHelp's status bar on Linux (but it works fine on Mac and Win32).
