Capture context help contents

I'm trying to capture information from the context help window, to use in documentation. In particular, I have a very complex typedef that is presented very nicely in the context help window, but I can't find any good way to capture this content and paste it into a document. Is there a better way to go about capturing this information from a typedef?

Hmm, it is not totally clear to me, why not just go to the VI, right click on the typedef, and you can CTRL+C the text from the "description and tip" field.

You can also get the string from the Description, using a property node...

 

edit: ah, maybe you talk about the typdef structure??

Click and hold on the titlebar to make the window active.

Use alt-print screen to capture the window quickly before it lost focus.

Paste the image to your document.
