Altering Help Context Window Contents

Hello,

 

I am writing a Tag Viewer program and am having a bit of trouble finding a solution to a problem I have. The problem I have is that I want to display the description of the tag inside the help window. The tag is being displayed via a MCLB so I obviously just get the description of the MCLB in the help window. I was wondering if there was a way to select an individual tag and shoot the description of that tag into the help window. Im using 7.1 btw on windows.

 

any comments help would be appreciated.

 

Jason

Hello, How about a mouse over event that could pop up a subVI front panel ?

Yeah thats what I have now. Just a seperate subVI that everytime I select a new tag it displays the current tag description. I was hoping to keep the open Vis to a minimum by editing the help window that would already be open.
