Trigger help overlay from api call or event

Development and API
#1

Evening all

Is it possible to trigger the help overlay using the Viewer API or programmatically? I’d like to be able to toggle it on and off with a custom HTML/JS UI button.

Haven’t had any luck linking to classname ‘help’, so any pointers much appreciated.

Trigger help overlay from Viewer API
#2

There isn’t any binding in viewer api that triggers the “help” overlay.
I’m curious of the usecase ?
why not letting user be able to call it themself using in frame help icon ?

Hi Paul

Thanks for the reply.

It’s because I’ve covered it up! :roll_eyes:

I want to move it to the left panel. Is there a keyboard shortcut that could be simulated with a button click?

Best regards
Brandon

@paul_sketch Any hope of getting this to work? I realise I’ve created this issue for myself, but isn’t the point and the fun of the Viewer API to be able to customise the UI?

Any sneaky work-arounds or ideas would be much appreciated!

There is no workaround in current situation, as it’s first time we got that feature request.
Meanwhile only idea I see would be to shorten “Right Panel” height by the size of the skfb icons bar.

Thanks Paul. I’ll add a feature request :wink:
