Can I force the cursor in the PDF viewer to default to the text selection cursor? Can you give me a script to make work? There is an inconsistency in the cursor behavior: On an HTML document, the arrow cursor will highlight the text if the user clicks and drags. But in a PDF document, the arrow...

Wow – I had no way to know what that icon does. Of course, now it works. Can I give the cursor right-click options like “copy” “paste” ? Can I replace that icon with a different icon – maybe a button that says "Click to change to Selection cursor" ? If I replace that icon with a longer button...

Thank you – it worked. I thought I had unchecked that box. How can I enable cut & paste in pdf docs? The cursor is an arrow in pdf documents – not a text tool – so I can’t highlight/select text.

I sent off my project for client review, but the client found many problems: Cut & paste is not working in pdf documents I’m making a teaching tool for classroom use. I want the students to be able to cut & paste text – I don’t have any security profiles turned on, yet I can’t cut & paste text...

I closed the program and opened it several times. Then recompiled my app several times. The problem seems to be solved – the app screen now opens at the proper size.

My app does not search in my PDF files – I need to compile tonight so my client can send for DVD duplication tomorrow. Can you help? Any advice?

I have set a custom size for the Main Window, and checked “Allow user to resize” and “Enable Maximize Window” But the window always launches full screen. How to I make the app launch at the custom size that I set?

I am making an educational DVD for schools – many of the schools still use Windows 7, so I will need to use the HE script to launch whatever video player is installed on the computer. Is there a way to tell the player to close after the video is done playing? Otherwise, the player window will...

If a user is on an older machine, they will not have HTML5 ability. Can you modify the script so that IF they can’t view HTML5 video THEN the script launches their normal video player. Internet Explorer 9, 10 and 11 are not supported by Microsoft anymore...

To use the HTML5 video player, must the entire page be fully HTML5 compliant? 2. Is it possible to add the HTML5 video tag to a legacy HTML page without changing other tags in the page? 3. Also, if I use the HTML5 video player, how does the .exe app find the path to the video file? Do I still...

I have an interactive HTML teaching guide that was coded years ago. I would like to repackage it and include video files. To use the HTML5 video function, must I recode all my pages to be HTML5 compliant? Is there a way to keep my pages as they are and simply drop in the new HTML5 video code...

Please clarify this: I am linking to a .wmv file. Is there any way (maybe a script?) I can tell the player (either WMP, VLC, etc) to close, or minimize when the video is done playing, so it does not block the HTMLexe window? I am creating a teacher’s guide for an educational video, and we’ve...

If Silverlight solves the problem, why can’t GDG software make it a plugin to the program so that we can have it be resident in the compiled exe? It’s not a popular player and Windows does not include it by default. To use Silverlight, would the person viewing the e-book on their computer need...
