[Iskander]

Hi all

I created the big VI.

My VI has more then 260 items : bottons,  numeric indicators ...

I want created the Tip Strip for the numeric indicator.

But now the Tip Strip don't remember.

Befor this I created the  Tip Strip .

Why can't I  create the Tip Strip?

My be My VI has too many items.

Best regards

Iskander,

i have tested 512 numeric controls. The VI is getting very slow, but the tooltip is still displayed correctly.

So maybe there is a certain control type needed for the behavior you are observing or there is something else messed up.... but definetly, the UI with 512 controls is awefully slow, so i suggest you to redesign the UI in order to keep it useable and maintainable.

If you have LV 8.6.1 you maybe don't have hotpatch f1 installed. I highly recommend you to do so.

hope this helps,

Hi Iskander,

How are you setting up the Tip Strip? Are you right-clicking the numeric indicator, selecting Properties, and then entering your Tip Strip on the Documentation tab? Are you making sure that you are using the pointer hand tool when you hover over the numeric indicator?

Thank you for choosing National Instruments.

Hi  Aaron Pena

Thanks

I am using Properties and then Tip Strip on the Documentation tab

I created VI with more than 250 indicators & controls.

When my VI was small I created Tip Strip.

But now I can't.

Now I  selecting Properties ->Tip Strip on the Documentation tab and write. Then I do OK.

When I open  Properties again  ->Tip Strip on the Documentation tab - the  Tip Strip is empty.

Iskander,

i checked again using 512 numeric controls. Everything works fine. So i ask you: do you have "stacked" data types (cluster)? What is the maximum "depth"?

Iskander,

i don't have Camtasia installed so i cannot watch your video. I suggest you to post a VI showing the issue with a short description on how to reproduce it.

thanks,

Iskander,

watching your AVI makes me think:

What happens, if you write the tip strip in cyrillic as well? Does LV "remember" the tip strip then?

Regarding the "depth" of structures: In the video, we see a tab control which contains several elements (numeric, boolean, listbox,...), but those are not collected into additional structures (like clusters). So the depth seen in the video is 2 (tab control -> control). Is there a deeper nesting of controls somewhere?

How big is the VI on disk?  What are the coordinates of the controls?
