How do I get context help for my subVIs' terminals?

[bmihura]

I have created subVIs in which I filled in their "Description and Tip..." fields for their terminals. However when they are in a block diagram and I show their Context Help, the terminal names show up but there is no "Detailed Help" link like with the VIs shipping with LabVIEW.

How do I get these terminals' descriptions in that Context Help window?

That extra help information gets entered in the VI's documentation. From the VI, go to "File -> VI Properties" (or ctrl-I), Documentation tab.

I am looking at that "File -> VI Properties" tab for one of NI's built-in VIs, "LabVIEW 2012\vi.lib\Instr\_visa.llb\VISA Configure Serial Port (Instr).vi".

I only see three fields:

1. VI description
2. Help tag
3. Help path

"Help path" refers to a CHM file which, when I open it, looks like it can use the information in "Help tag" to populate that window.

It looks like I need to learn how to construct CHM file compatible with LabVIEW help....

Is this documented somewhere? LabVIEW Help and Google are failing me on this topic of CHM.
