Help/documenation for front panel controls and indicators

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 4 kudos within 4 years after posting will be automatically declined.

Every time I have to figure out how to use a new kind of control, I wonder why there is no "help" option, as there is for any kind of thing on the block diagram.  I have figured how to location this documentation by searching on the various general front panel documentation pages, but it seems that it ought to be a pretty straightforward association.  Many controls have complex interfaces that require some explanation (vector of clusters of vectors of ...).

I totally agree; this has frustrated me many times.
