Labview Quick Tips list

[rejean]

Hi Everybody.

You know each time you open LabVIEW 5 or 6i, we can access all Quick Tip
via a small window.
I would like to know if somebody know where is the file or the VI containing
all these Quick Tips on both versions.
Thank you

Those are embedded in the LabVIEW resource files in the Resource directory
inside
of the LabVIEW directory. LabVIEW resource files are binary files with a
similar data
structure as the resource fork of Macintosh files. Although it's possible
to look into
these files with a hex editor for instance, it is hard to retrieve
information from them
and even harder to change anything inside of them.

Rejean,

I suspect you're after a file-based source so that you can access the
tips programmatically, and I'm not sure where to find that for the two
LabVIEW versions you're interested in.

However, in the Online Help for LabVIEW 6i, there's a top-level folder
called "Quick Tips" that will let you browse through all of the tips
that are displayed at launch. If you're just looking to browse the
content, this is a good place to look.
