Multi Line Tip in "Description and Tip" Dialog

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 6 kudos within 6 years after posting will be automatically declined.

In the Description and Tip Dialog the Tip can only contain one line. On the properties page Documentation the Tip strip can me multiple lines long.

 

This is not consistent. Could you please allow to enter multiple lines in the Description and Tip Dialog?

When you are already at it you could also unify the labeling. In the "Descripton and Tip" Dialog, leave away the text "String" and use Tip strip instad of only Tip.

 

(The Description and Tip Dialog is opened by selecting Description and Tip... in the context menu of a control or indicator.)

You can create multiline tip strips by using "ctrl+enter" to go to the next line.

It can be done with a simple enter, if you have unchecked Tools>Options>Environment>End Text Entry with Enter key

Upon further review, you're right about the Tip Section.  I was doing it in the Description.

@altenbach: The tip (strip) is limited to a single line in the "Description and Tip Dialog". Ctrl-Enter does not work.

 

The work around is using the properties page "Description". (Or setting with a property node.)
