Context Help enhancements

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 2 kudos within 2 years after posting will be automatically declined.

Two enhancements I would like to see related to Context Help:

 

1) I sometimes use a control's caption to display run-time formatted text. For instance, an Elapsed Time slider might show HH::MM::SS format.  Whenever a control has a caption, LabVIEW automatically uses the Caption text as the title of the description.  I would like the option of being able to select Label, Caption, or None for the context help label.  If None, I can format my own title for the Context Help.

 

2) Labview also uses the formatting style of the Label/Caption as the style of the context help label.  I would like to be able to set a default style for all Context help labels so that even if my labels/captions are different font sizes or styles, the context help can be consistent.  I may want to draw more attention to certain controls, but there's no need to have a huge label in the context help.
