Altenbach's excellent Idea below is getting old and lost in the shuffle. Revive it!

Context help is a tree control for data structures including clusters and classes. Why did I call it "collapsible nodes" instead of a tree? Ah well.
So now I am working on a super top-secret project that uses a LOT of classes. It uses inheritance and composition and when I activate context help on the "main" class it is just crazy. Maybe I could create a RCF plugin that lets you export a structure to an XML file with a pretty stylesheet.
But I have no time because I need to finish my super top-secret project so I can release it to the general public.

Worst Idea Ever? I knew it would not be gangbusters, but zero votes??

To borrow a quote from Slashdot - First!
I don't use charts much but it looks like a good idea. It must have gotten lost in the noise over the holidays. Although it only got two kudos I think I hold the record for the Worst Idea Ever. It was declined the day after I posted it! I am not sure how to easily do a search to see if there were any ideas slapped down more quickly.

But that's an important post to me. It was that post, actually the comments, that got me thinking about perhaps using globals again, after a 4+ year hiatus. Globals are not evil, just lazy.

This one was slapped down in 36hrs- And lasted less than 20 minutes before Raven's Fan fatally stabbed it in the back- I spent longer than that on the PNG's!

That doesn't count as being among the worst ideas because it turned out that you found a bug. Mine was declined as not a good idea.
So out of declined ideas that were not eventually moved to CARs or were duplicates I think I hold the record.

OK, kind of Off Topic because this Idea is HARDLY lonely, but I just gotta say, what LabVIEW programmer would NOT want this? This Idea should be at 500+ Kudos. Come on gang...

Here's one more I found -- being able to tab into and out of clusters:
Almost 3 years old, and only 15 kudos - so far...
