Help Display is Unresponsive

Scroll Prev Top Next More

If you have the dcsTools Audio Importer help system displayed and it suddenly becomes unresponsive - you cannot scroll text and get a warning sound every time you click on it, it is likely that you have an edit dialog displayed and clicked on the help button.

To correct the problem, click on the [Cancel] button for the edit dialog. Once the edit dialog is closed, the help system will become responsive again.

This happens when the following sequence of events occurs:

1.You open the help system anywhere in dcsTools Audio Import Manager and;

2.You leave the help system open while you move on to other parts of the application. Then;

3.You open one of the edit dialogs for Preferences, Paths, Categories or Maps.

At this point, you will find that attempting to access the help system, either to scroll text or look at another subject, will no longer respond. The reason is that the edit dialogs are "modal" in nature and disallow access to other windows in dcsTools Audio Import Manager while they are active.

The solution is to close the help system before displaying an edit dialog. If you click on the help button in the dialog, the help system is redisplayed and fully accessible.
