In the helpfile, you can search using the third tab "Search". This used to work, but now the "list topics" button always displays "no topics found", no matter what keyword I try. Even keywords that I know should yield results, for example "3d" or "sprite" or "drawsprite". Some info on the file version I have:
GLBasic IDE v11.261
GLBasic_e.chm (filesize 635393 bytes, filedate 9-jan-2012)
And another thing, as I mentioned here (http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=8895.0), could someone maybe add a chapter to the helpfile about some of the tools? I'm new to the 3D parts of GLBasic and I've found that I have to rely on looking for clues in old forum posts. I was looking for info on Convert3D.exe, but info about the AC3D plug-in, DiNGSFont, shoebox etc. would be handy too. I think all the relevant info should be in one central place, so the helpfile would be perfect.
I know writing and updating the documentation is a lot of work, but it's very important for using GLBasic to its full potential. Is there a way we can contribute to the helpfile, maybe in a wiki-like setting? :good:
I downloaded the GLBasic v11.322 update and noticed that the .chm help files hadn't changed. I know it's not most important issue, but I just wanted to bring this to your attention again. See what I mean in screenshot below:

HI BdR I think it's something wrong in your installation, I have 2 version the 10.x and the last update 11. and I can search anything...
Perhaps you put the 2 GLbasic in the same Path...
I have one in C:/
and another in Program Files and all runs Ok, except the things don't works yet, like HTML, and I'm not sure if somthing more...
Same issue happens here. I have two v11 betas installed in each own folder.
Same with me.
But I never used that search.
edit:v10.x works fine though.
Something whit Windows?¿... I have x86, and for me this works fine!!! :O
I have both installations too.
On my v10.x it works fine.
On my v11 it dosen´t.
They are installed into different directories.
Program Files(x86)/glbasic
Program Files(x86)/glbasic_v11
Maybe it is because the beta is still betaing( :S)?
I don't think Gernot has compiled the help file yet - the new commands aren't in there yet.
Sorry guys :-[, I was confused whit the previus tab... I never use the last tab... or perhaps only a couple of times...
Sorry for the confusion...
The online help is up to date. Sorry, I forgot to pack into the beta.
