how to switch "selector selection" tip off

[hardybruno]

Hi,

I want to ask if anybody knows how to switch off the quick tip at the selector of case or sequence structures.

The quick tip window always pops up and hides the parts under it. I do not need the quick tip with no special information. (see attached picture)

Greetings

You should just move the parts under it that are getting hidden or you can resize the sequence structure frame.

You can turn off block diagram tip strips (Window menu row: Tools -> Options -> Block diagram -> Tip Strips and labeling -> Show tip strips over terminal. 

To reduce amount of unnecessary information on block diagram, you can use long descriptive captions of the controls on the front panel and shorter "programming" Labels on block diagram. (right click control on the front panel, show caption).

For example control caption on the front panel is Experiment mode selector and label, visible on block diagram is Mode.

Hi,

this is done and the quick tip is still present. I also tried to switch on, reboot and than swithc off. I have only on this two structures the quick tips steady on.

Any other idea which works?

Maybe it is the version. I work with LV2012.

Try adding the line ShowTipStringsOnDiagram=False to the LabVIEW.ini file and restarting LV. I believe this isn't anywhere in the options dialog and it should work in 2012 (pretty sure it worked in 7.0 too).
