how to make the value tip strip slider can stay visible as long as you want

[Etiou]

Hello everyone,
I would like to know if it is possible to see the tip strip value stay visible as long  you want on the slider?
When I click on the slider the tip strip value appears but very quickly, I would like it to remain visible.
Is this possible please?
If yes how?
Thanks & Best regards,

I would show a frameless VI and use that as a tip-strip. Then you can customize it however you want.

I've seen this done a couple of ways.  I believe the context help window can be opened in the runtime engine, and then hovering over a control will display the control's description as help.  Another solution I've seen is to have a section of the window split with a splitter.  In the other pane you can put a string indicator, that fits the whole pane.  Then on a mouse over of any control, have the event where the control description is put into the string.  A separate floating window gives you more control for sure, it just depends on the amount of work you want to put into it.

Sorry, can't open your control (only LabVIEW 2020 on current computer. Consider "save for previous" to get more help chances).

• A tip strip appears over a control as long as you hover. There is no time limit. If you want to see it forever, just keep hovering.
• If you move the slider, it gets temporarily replaced with a strip showing the current slider value.

Can you explain in a few more words what other behavior you want?

Hello altenbach,
Yes, by hovering I have the value.
(I put in screenshot and saved the previous version too).
In fact when I click on the slider a value appears but disappears automatically without me moving the mouse.
What I want is that when I click for example on 13 the value 13 appears until I click on another.
As on the screenshot I clicked on 13 and I want to see this value until I click on 14 for example

OK, so that's not the real tip strip (as configured for the control) but the value strip. You don't have a tip strip configured, so lets keep the terminology clear.

Seems a bit redundant to show the same value three times: (1) on the scale below the slider, (2) on the digital display, and (3) on the value strip, but I guess that's what you want. 😄 I guess you need to craft your own as already suggested.
