Local Help search does not work in WDK documentation "Stephane Barizien" <sba[ at ]nospam.nospam> 10/27/2008 12:51:47 PM (sorry for the x-post) When I search for "The IRP structure is a partial opaque structure" (with the quotes) in the WDK documentation, the "Local Help" comes up with 0 hits, whereas the article *is* present (I can navigate to it using the "Contents" pane)... Any clue?

I have the WDK docs integrated with the MSDN off-line library, I did the search using quotes and it found the article at this location. ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.v90.en/kernel_r/hh/Kernel_r/k112_39688b8b-4b33-4bce-b71f-e9c183e4d6bd.xml.htm Volodymyr M.

Re: Local Help search does not work in WDK documentation "Stephane Barizien" <sba[ at ]nospam.nospam> 11/12/2008 5:51:11 PM Hi Gerry, How did you get "the WDK docs integrated with the MSDN off-line library" ? Do you mean you use the MSDN Library shortcut to start Document Explorer, and from there the WDK docs are among the places that are searched? Or do you use the "WDK doc" shortcut?

Re: Local Help search does not work in WDK documentation Gerry Hickman <gerry666uk2[ at ]newsgroup.nospam> 11/12/2008 11:10:04 PM Hi, I don't remember exactly how I set it up, but I think it was something like: 1. Install latest MSDN Library from DVD 2. Install the latest SDK and WDK It was a while since I installed it, but I remember being surprised to see the WDK docs integrated, as it always used to be a pain having to go to two different places. I launch the MSDN docs from the Vista start menu by choosing. "MSDN Library for Visual Studio 2008 - ENU".

Re: Local Help search does not work in WDK documentation "Stephane Barizien" <sba[ at ]nospam.nospam> 11/13/2008 11:10:48 AM I sort of did the same (from the top of my head) and launch MSDN lib the same way, but the query finds 0 local hits...

OK, are you able to browse to the "IRP" document within "Kernel Structures"? If so, please post the URL. Then do a search for KPROCESSOR_MODE without using quotes.

If so, please post the URL. Then do a search for Yes after quite some digging I found "Kernel Structures" (NOT found by a search for "Kernel Structures", even using "online" search -- only CE-related articles are found) under KMDF / Reference. The IRP article thereunder is at the following URL: ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.v90.en/kernel_r/hh/Kernel_r/k112_39688b8b-4b33-4bce-b71f-e9c183e4d6bd.xml.htm > > KPROCESSOR_MODE > > without using quotes. > > How many hits do you get? 0 with Local Help, 100 with MSDN Online (none of which seems to have KPROCESSOR_MODE in the title, BTW...)

I've just checked my version and it's 9.0.21022.8 RTM I wonder if a language setting makes any difference?
