Because pods are so important to your workflow here in RoboHelp 9, we're going…to continue discussing pods.…We'll focus on how you have full control over your pods, in that you can choose…where they appear on your screen, how they look, and how they behave.…So we're going to continue to work with our How to Use lynda.com project that we…started in the previous lesson.…If you've jumped to this lesson, you can get all caught up by going to File,…then Open, navigating to your exercise files.…Because if you double-click the Chap01 folder, you'll see subfolders,…double-click 01_04, and there's the How to Use lynda.com project.…
It's in its own folder.…So when you double-click that, you'll find the How to Use lynda.com.xpj.…Double-click that to open it up, and all you need to do now is double-click the…first topic, Welcome, to be all caught up.…Now, from here we're going to look at our pods in a little more detail, and we're…going to get finicky with them.…For example, if we have our Project Manager over here on the left-hand side…

Q: When I insert the ActiveX Calendar control and try to hide the title by setting the ShowTitle property to false, the title is not removed and remains visible. Why is this happening?
A: There are many ActiveX controls available and many versions of a control may exist. Different versions of a control can behave differently. Certain properties may work in one version of a control and not in another. ActiveX controls can be installed on your computer by different programs other than RoboHelp, such as Microsoft Excel and Access. In this title, version 11.0 of the Calendar control is used. If you are using a different version of the Calendar control, the ShowTitle property may not work properly. Go to www.microsoft.com to learn more about ActiveX controls and their properties.
