Hi
 
anyone knows how to add description for a property node of an XControl which should appear in the context help window of LV?
 
In case of a method, the description of the method VI appears on the context help. But not for property nodeSmiley Sad

Hi Vsh,

You can set the property context help by right-clicking the xcontrol in your Project Explorer, selecting Properties,  selecting the "Item Settings" category and clicking on the Property that you wish to write context help for.  You will see a box titled "Description" on the right;  this is where the context help is defined.

Let me know if you have trouble finding this.

Did they move this in 2011?  It is not where the description above says it should be.  Please help.
