Description Roman Mostyka 2008-09-30 14:13:51 UTC 
1. Connect to some DB
2. Rightclick "Tables" node and choose "Create Table...".
3. Press F1.

Result: Help appears with no topic. "Create Table" dialog has a lot of settings, so I think we have to have help for it.
Comment 1 James Branam 2008-09-30 14:20:12 UTC 
I'll create a topic for this.
Comment 2 James Branam 2008-10-02 15:17:29 UTC 
I've created a topic for this:

db/javahelp/org/netbeans/modules/db/docs/create-table-db.html

Now we need a Map ID to link to the topic from the dialog box when F1 is pressed.
Comment 3 John Baker 2008-10-08 00:51:30 UTC 
Map ID is org.netbeans.modules.db.explorer.actions.CreateTableAction
Comment 4 James Branam 2008-10-16 13:44:15 UTC 
I have created the topics and added the Map ID to the map file. Now it's up to somebody to make sure it works.
Comment 5 John Baker 2008-11-18 03:39:09 UTC 
I'm not sure if this can be fixed in the 6.5 patch release since it's a P3
Comment 6 Roman Mostyka 2008-11-18 13:13:39 UTC 
Is there some statistic how often customers use "Create Table" dialog?
If this dialog is used often, then we have justification about necessity to include this fix in a next patch.
Comment 7 David Vancouvering 2008-11-18 16:44:14 UTC 
I don't have any statistics, but I think users don't use this that much, they tend to write their own SQL scripts. 
There are not a lot of questions about it on the nbusers list.  We don't collect any gestures currently for database
dialogs - maybe we should.  I'll add an enhancement request.
Comment 8 John Baker 2008-12-06 01:20:55 UTC 
Seems to be a bug in Help.

Also the help topic for CreateDatabaseAction is not opening even though the mapID setting looks OK

James, could you find out what's going on?
Comment 9 Jiri Rechtacek 2009-07-01 07:44:34 UTC 
NB6.7 was released already - http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/67/
Postpone fixing this issue on the next release.
Comment 10 Irina Filippova 2010-03-05 01:42:43 UTC 
I have checked the online help topic for Create Table dialog box in the db module.

The topic "Create Table Dialog Box" exists in javahelp (db\javahelp\org\netbeans\modules\db\docs\create-table-db.html) and has a mapID of org.netbeans.modules.db.explorer.actions.CreateTableAction

In the NB console (when NetBeans is started using -J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.javahelp.level=100), pressing F1 does not display any mapID hooked to this dialog box.

The problem is that the Help button should be enabled for this dialog box, and its mapID is org.netbeans.modules.db.explorer.actions.CreateTableAction

Can you please add this mapID?
Comment 11 Irina Filippova 2010-03-09 00:58:47 UTC 
Adding myself to the CC for this bug.
