Get Object Help info

Solved!
Go to solution

I want to get the text from the LabVIEW context help info. I tried to use the Get Help Info - NI method. But it always returns an error - 1018: Undefined error. How do I use this node or is there alternate ways to extract the info from the context help window for LabVIEW nodes.

The Get Help Info is for the Detailed Help link to the compiled HTML help file.

The text in the context help is from the VI Properties >> Documentation. Use VI Description property to access it.

Thanks for the quick reply. Is it possible to get the help text for other native LabVIEW nodes, like string controls, and not the Sub Vis alone?

Similarly, use a property node to access Description property but wire the reference of the control instead.
