3-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle Help With the exception of the branding area, these elements are configured in the helpset file. OHW-RC and OHJ use the exact same file formats, including the helpset file. That means that one can take an existing OHJ help system and deploy it as an OHW-UIX or OHW-RC system, without changing any of the existing control files. OHW-RC uses the same directives from the helpset file to construct its user interface as are used by OHJ to configure its user interface. For more information about deploying OHW-RC system, see Chapter 17, Deploying OHW-RC Demo File .

3.1 OHW-RC Global Toolbar

The top area of the rich client contains a helpset switcher where applicable, a quick search control, a View menu that enables users to manipulate areas on the page, and a toolbar. Figure 3–2 OHW-RC Global Toolbar Figure 3–2 numbered callouts identify the following user interface components:

1. Helpset Switcher

: A dropdown list that contains all helpsets defined in an OHW-RC application. The helpset that is currently open is shown in the dropdown box, and users can use the list to switch to a different helpset. The Helpset Switcher is visible only when there are multiple independent sets of content and the combineBooks parameter, in the ohwconfig.xml file, is set to false.

2. Search This Helpset

: A quick search control that allows users to perform a quick search without switching to the Search navigator. The default search options in this case will be set to case insensitive, all words and all sources. If there are multiple search navigators, the quick search control is not displayed. Multiple search navigators can be present when the helpset file contains more than one views with the navigator of type: oracle.help.navigator.searchNavigator.SearchNavigator.

3. View

: A menu that provides a list of command menu items to control visibility and navigation of the helpset. The command items are grouped into similar functionalities as follows: ■ Maximize Reading Pane toggles the expansion or collapse of the navigator pane. ■ Restore Default Window Layout rearranges the panes according to the default layout. ■ The navigator items section contains command items to navigate to all available navigators panes Contents, Index, and Search, and the custom navigators, if any. ■ Show bookmarkable link for this topic page displays a popup that contains the permanent link to the current topic, which can then be used to create a bookmark. 4.
