Re: [platform-help-dev] bringing browser window to the front for standalone Java application?
|
Erik, I believe this behaviour can be triggered by a change to your browser
preferences.
I don't have Internet Explorer set as my preferred browser, but can you try
changing the setting for the Tools --> Internet Options --> Advanced -->
Browsing --> Reuse windows for launching shortcuts checkbox to see if that
makes any difference?
This will, of course, result in a new window opening every time you click
the Help button--but it should bring it to the front of your set of
windows.

Please respond to
platform-help-dev
I cannot reproduce this. Please open a bug and specify as much information
as possible regarding circumstances (OS version, IE version, which browser
adapter are you using, or which help plug-ins are included as part of your
stand-alone system, how are you launching APIs/command line/batch
files/shortcuts, does it happen every time/all machines)?

Foresightful Help Developers:
We're using Standalone Eclipse 2.1.1 Help on Windows. If the help window
is already open, a help request displays in the window but the window
doesn't come to the front, so the help request appears to have done
nothing.
Is there a way to ensure that a display request brings the help window to
the front?
I looked at org.eclipse.help.internal.standalone.StandaloneHelp,
org.eclipse.help.internal.standalone.EclipseController, and
org.eclipse.help.internal.webapp.servlet.ControllerServlet.processRequest()
but didn't see anything.
Given that it's a browser window, I assume there's no way to get a Java
reference to the window and use AWT calls to bring it to the front.
The help is displaying in IE 6.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Erik Hennum
