Make hovering over a block to show the block's label temporarily if it is not visible already

Status: Completed

Available in LabVIEW NXG.

Beside the context help that adapts to hovering over blocks please allow labels to be temporary visible while hovering over the blocks in case the label is not visible already.

The Context help is great but I don't need all its information most of the time and it takes up room on the screen hiding some parts of the BD that I need to see, moreover since its size and location change constantly depending on the block I'm hovering on.

By displaying the label in the relevant place of enquiry it will be easier to keep concentrating over the data flow of the logic.

Simple, non-intrusive, and probably easy to impliment. I personally would use this more for front panel objects, but the Idea's the same. Kudos.

It is almost identical to hovering over a connector to show its name.

I bet adding this feature is so simple and safe that it can be added even before LV2013.
