Option to display "Description" of a subvi in the "Context Help" window

Status: Declined
Functionality already exists in LV

Would it be nice/useful if you move the mouse over a subvi in the BD, the "Context Help" not only displays the name, icon and connectors, but also the "Description" of the subvi?

It is indeed nice and useful, as well as the current behavior. It sounds like you need to convince yourself or others to start filling in the VI description in your subVIs.

Smiley Sadlike this?

You just add the text to "Documentation" from the VI Property browser

placing the  <B>text</B> tags around a block bolds the text.-  Unfortunatly the bold tag is the only one the current editor accepts


"Should be" isn't "Is" -Jay

Yes. Has this been suggested before? I did find anything similar when I search the "Idea Exchange" using "Context Help".
