toolbar - Clicking on "more" no longer working
Moved from 18 to 19.0.48959.0. The patch ws failed for me this time (most likely my fault), so I reinstalled from basically scratch sev weeks ago. Everything has been operating as usual other than when I hover on a glyph on the toolbar and click on "more".
Short of reinstalling, anything I can try? thanks

Hi Drothman,
What version of MS Windows are you running on?
Did you reboot after installing?
1) Do you get a help page if you go to Help->Latest updates in the session menu?
2) Do you get a help page if you do the following?
Regards,
Vince

Re: toolbar - Clicking on "more" no longer working
I uninstalled and reinstalled again (this time including the Dyalog Unicode IME.
'help'⎕na 'P hhctrl.ocx|HtmlHelpA P <0C U U4'
still returns nothing
help 0 'C:\\Program Files\\Dyalog\\Dyalog APL-64 19.0 Unicode\\help/dyalog.chm::/Language/Symbols/Set Union.htm' 0 0
returns an integer each time i run it and then the 19.0 help menu pops up each time.
but the problem initially described exists...
if I hold the cursor over a glyph and then try to click (or right click) the hyperlink "More" nothing happens
again - been running Dyalog APl for years (and using APL since the late 70's)...
no clue why this no longer works.
thanks

Hi drothman,
1) Do you get a help page if you go to Help->Latest updates in the session menu?
2) 'help'⎕na 'P hhctrl.ocx|HtmlHelpA P <0C U U4'
This line has a shy result which is not of interest, so it is OK that it appears to return nothing. It associates the name help with the Win32 HtmlHelpA function.
This HtmlHelpA function is the same function that we use inside the interpreter to make the help appear when the More link is pressed.
I do not know why it works for you when it is called via ⎕NA, but not from within Dyalog. I will continue to look into this.
Regards,
Vince

Re: toolbar - Clicking on "more" no longer working
sorry for delayed response...was away.
help/latest enhancements - i do get the 19.0 Key features. There is no "Latest updates" option.
But...somehow, now the issue has resolved. no clue how/why or when it started to work. when I uninstalled everything and reinstalled from scratch, it did not work. I've rebooted repeatedly over this stretch and that didn't help either. i just happened to load dyalog this am and was working on something trivial and thot to check the forum as I don't recall seeing an email alert of a reply. as I was finishing this response, I thot to generate the error before sending and like magic - it works...good for me, but cannot replicate for now in hopes of figuring out what was going on. thanks for your help and if I see a similar issue, I'll report back

Hi drothman,
I am glad that it is working for you now. I wonder if the initial problem was due to a quirk in the MS Windows on your computer. Have you had some Windows updates recently? Maybe that could have changed/fixed something.

Vince

Re: toolbar - Clicking on "more" no longer working
no idea if a windows 11 update fixed anything. First thing I did when I noticed the prob was to clear cookies, but that didn't resolve it. When I uninstalled and then reinstalled from scratch, I had wiped the machine of all traces of dyalog other than my own stuff. That didn't resolve the prob either.
But a week later, the problem resolved as if by magic :-)
