Question on "Using Source Code Tags" whitepaper on NI Developer Zone

Fellow CVI mavens,

 

I have a simple question on the "Using Source Code Tags to Enhance LabWindows/CVI Code Documentation" whitepaper on the NI Developer Zone.  Does anyone know which HTML tags to use to enlarge the "viewing" window that you get when you click on the question mark, or select the menu item "Show Prototype" (Ctrl+Shift+Space). I tried using HTML <table> tags within my various "/// HIFN" source code tags (as in <table border="0" width="900">).  This allows my help documentation content to be wider, but that viewing window will not grow no matter what I tried.  I am talking about the help viewing window shown in figures 1, 2 and 3 of this whitepaper.  I know it can be bigger than what the default is (which is what is shown) because the native CVI function help viewing windows are considerably bigger.

To whom it may concern: My alias is also my nickname, I've had it since I was a (very) skinny basketball-playing teen. OK, so I've got a 38 inch waist now, but my hometown friends haven't shaken that appellation for me. I trust that you will someday be OK with that alias, as I have been with that nickname.

There is no way to change the window width.  The built-in CVI help is wider, but it's different (note the difference in default background color).  Your option is to create a table that's wider, which you described, and you'll get a scroll bar to navigate it.

I put in a CVI product suggestion for making the "tooltip" viewing window the same size as the one you get for native CVI functions.  Maybe it will be folded into a maintenance release someday.
