Ability to add a comment to UIR panels / objects

Status: New

It would be nice to be able to add some comments on UIR objects in the editor.

 

I'm mainly concerned about versioning: sometimes I happen to apply some modifications to existing panels / objects that are not self evident and I run the risk of forgetting them while revising the project after a couple of weeks.

As an example, I have recently modified some string and text message controls using "Greek" character set so that I can embed omega and delta symbols in them. At present I have a text file describing all modifications I have done in the project, including those in the UIRs, but it means I need to revise this file when I open the project again. It would be good if I could  add a comment on those controls and have a visual reminder of it directly in the editor (e.g. with a little symbol like when you add a comment on an Excel cell) so that every time I open the UIR I see the presence of comments at a glance.



Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.
