I'm well aware of how easy it is to do it in LabView, but i can't seem to find any information on how to do it in Labwindows. There are other ways i can approach dropping hints, but I really like what the tip strips do for me.
The equivalent in CVI is called "tooltip" and is set programmatically by SetCtrlToolTipAttribute () function: with CTRL_TOOLTIP_ATTR_ENABLE attribute you decide whether to display the tooltip or not, while with CTRL_TOOLTIP_ATTR_TEXT you set the text to display. Links are to CVI 2009 help. There are some caveats when using tooltips: here a case in which tooltips are inadvertedly switched off.
