Should F1 display help on runtime qml types

Should F1 display help on Runtime/Maps SDK QML types.

Is there a separate install for the help?

Is there a Preferences/Options setting that needs to be turned on?

Thanks

Rob

Hi @rob_hewy , the help is accessible if you were to search via Help Contents.

If you wish the F1 context-help key to function a patch will be required. Fortunately, you can create the patch yourself using the following AppStudio App. After running it, you will need to restart Qt Creator to see the changes.

 

import QtQuick 2.15
import QtQuick.Controls 2.15
import ArcGIS.AppFramework 1.0
import ArcGIS.AppFramework.Sql 1.0
App {
    id: app
    width: 800
    height: 600
    Button {
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        text: qsTr("Patch")
        property SqlDatabase db: SqlDatabase { }
        onClicked: {
            patchFile("~/Applications/ArcGIS/AppStudio/doc/AppFramework.qch", 'org.qt-project.qtappframework.5156');
            patchFile("~/Applications/ArcGIS/AppStudio/doc/ArcGISQtQML.qch", 'org.qt-project.qtarcgisqtqml.5156');
            patchFile("~/Applications/ArcGIS/AppStudio/doc/ArcGISQtToolkit.qch", 'org.qt-project.qtarcgisqttoolkit.5156');
            text = qsTr("Patched");
            enabled = false;
        }
        function patchFile(fileName, namespace) {
            db.databaseName = AppFramework.resolvedPath(fileName);
            db.open();
            db.query("UPDATE NamespaceTable SET Name = :namespace", { namespace });
            db.close();
        }
    }
}

 

I am interested if this resolves this issue for you.
