How to ensure "show context help" window is displayed on startup

Hello All,

I'm in process of preparing an application installer to be built, and am wondering if there's a way to ensure the context help window is presented to the user by default when they start up the application? I couldnt find any properties, methods or setup configurations that allow this to happen.

Thank You
-Ted

The context help window is an item of the Development Environment.
What you could do is an mouse enter, and mouse leave event registring for all controls (VI->controls[]) and use the tip-strip/description to output to a window.

With LabVIEW 8.2, I was able to display the Context Help window by using the Control Help Window function from the Dialog & User Interface > Help subpalette.  When I built this VI into an EXE, it still worked fine.
