Is there a way of disabling/enabling tip strips at run-time?

I can use the application reference properties, but that will impact any other LabVIEW applications that might be running. I only want to change the tip strips visibility for my app.

You can try adding
showTipStrings=False
to your application ini file.
If this doesn't work, then this setting is only available for the entire run-time engine.

Thanks Zvezdana S.

But I was hoping for a solution that would allow my users to toggle tip strips on/off, while they were running my app.

Create a property node (All Functions, Application Control, Property Node). It should be an application property node by default (mine is, anyhow). RMB on the property, and select Properties, Application, Show FP Tip Strips. You can wire this with a Boolean control for adjustment during execution.
