When I try to open it using the menu at the top, nothing seems to happen. It is also not highlighted the next time I go into the menu.

Shift + F12 does not work either. Am I hiding it somehow?

Comments

I don't know why the main menu > View > Open HTML editor button isn't functioning & I don't know why it has <SHFT><F12> as it's shortcut.

AFAIK, the shortcut to open the HTML editor is <F12>, while <SHFT><F12> closes it

Jan : F12 and shift F12 both work for the HTML pane. The difference between F12 and shift F12 is that :

- F12 keeps the pane on autohide,

- shift F12 doesn't and pins it to the main window. So you need to press shift F12 again to close it (or right click the x on the pane's title bar, of course...)

Thanks Armando. That counts for my learning something new today .... a daily goal

Hi joemoeschmoe

I don't think I ever encountered that problem before...

You go to to "View" > "HTML editor" and click,

Right?

Do you have the latest release installed (portable, preferably) ?

Try this too :

make the main window smaller and see if the HTML pane could have been undocked and would be floating under it. I really don't think it can happen, but... who knows...

I just downloaded the latest version from Release 11 because of this same issue and the result is the same.

I tried making the window not maximized...to no luck.

I have info that I put in the HTML many moons ago and now I can't get to it...

Normally the latest release is :

Version 0.9.25Pre-Rel13 build 2009-12-31 16:04:56 Beta

Is that what you have in the "help" (menu) > "about" (triggers a dialog) ?

Seems to me like there's a component missing from your installation. I'd use the portable version, and decompress it in a new folder and test it from there.

Hi,

I'd also suggest using the latest portable version. Some of the components used by InfoQube are also used by other apps, which is the source of the famous "DLL hell". Using the portable version shields you from all this, IQ then runs in its own "sandbox".
It is "normal" that the menu item is not highlighted
It is also possible that the pane is floating, but somewhere off screen. When you press F12, does the focus move away from the main IQ window (window caption color change) ?
If all else fails, you can try deleting the dock.dat files, which determine the docking pane config

Any chance you are attempting this from within "Calendar" grid? I notice here that I encounter what you describe (non-responsive, grayed-out) when accessing View > HTML Editor from within the Calendar grid, but when accessing from within all other grids the View > HTML Editor fuction is live.

Ah! so true Doug, thanks for pointing that bug. Fixed in the next release

True, the calendar mode doesn't that play that well with the "Zoom panes" funtion (F11) and the panes, sometimes.

But... I'm not havin any problems seeing HTML content etc. in the HTML pane even when in the calendar.

The problem is that he's not seeing the HTML pane at all.

I just updated and am still having the same issue. The html pane menu option shows up, but nothing ever happens when I click it or use the quick keys.

However, the portable version seems to work fine...*shrug*

Definitely a registration issue. You can use the portable version, it has an identical feature set as the installable one.
