Solved!
Go to solution

hi all,

 

In my application i wish to display custom name for a control/indicator on the context help window.

Currently what happening is by default control name itself appearing as a title under the context help.

Is there any option to change it or is there any option to hide it. so that i can assign a custom name for an object.

You can use the caption instead of the label to display the name of the control. This is suggested for localization as well (you cannot localize the label, but you can with the caption).

You can additionally add documentation to the control in form of a tip strip or description (Option: Description and Tip... in the context menu). The description will show up in the context help as well....

 

hope this helps,

Norbert

Currently i am assigned label text and caption text for control. And whenever i move the cursor on the control, label text is appearing on the context help window. How can i change this to caption text.

You have to change the control to display the caption instead of the label. You can do this using the "Visible Items" in the context menu of the control.
