launch help url in internal browser [message #576396] Tue, 11 September 2007 15:11

I can launch a help topic by doing the following:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getHelpSystem().displayHelpResourc e(myDocHref);

However that always has the Help System navigation frame. I want just the
topic.

I can get the URL for just the topic as follows:
URL url = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getHelpSystem().resolve(myDocHref,
true);

(the second arg 'true' says the document only...without navigation frame)

Is there any way to launch that URL in the 'help browser'...meaning the
eclipse browser, with no tool bar/address bar/etc.

If I do:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getBrowserSupport().createBrowser( "myBrowser").openURL(url);

I get a firefox window.

I want to be able to launch the help browser with just a topic. I think I
could do my own browser implementation with a Browser widget...but it
would be much easier if I could just use the same 'internal' browser that
help uses to show any url.

Thanks for any suggestions...
