Multiline ToolTip

[jrbecker]

I can generate a single line ToolTip, but am having no success producing a multiline ToolTip.  Any suggestions?

Hi,

you should use the attribute browser for this case, see the figure below, it provides a 'ring popup' tool...

Hi jrbecker,

In LabWindows/CVI 2012, you can create multiline tooltips in one of the following ways:

• Insert a newline character (\n) in the string of the ATTR_TOOLTIP_TEXT attribute.
• Insert a newline character (\n) in the string of the Tooltip Text field in the Attribute Browser.
• Click the arrow in the Tooltip Text field of the Attribute Browser and select Edit multiline tooltip text.

If there's an update we can make to the documentation that can help make this task easier, please let me know!

Using CVI 9.0, so no Attribute Browser.  But the \n worked great.  Thanks.
