create documentation for user

[CodeMunkee]

Another easy one I'm sure...

I have a tabbed front panel. One tab is labeled DOCUMENTATION. I would like to have a button the user can push that provides either a pop-up window or hover-text (maybe both) that contains some pertinent troubleshooting info for working with the physical instrument. Attached is my fishing-line/duct-tape/caveman style of doing it, there must be a more elegant way.

My VI runs in a continuous loop, so I need something that can handle being in a loop.

Thanks!

See attached example.

You can also add tip strip directly by right clicking on control >>properties>>Documentation >>Tip strip.

Run vi, click on button it will show pop a it use to before..Just added event structure. Place your mouse over same button it will show you same help text in tip strip.

Is this what you want?

Thank you much. It's these little things that hang me up. Who knew it was called a Tip Strip? Well, you did. Much appreciated. Bananas for everyone!
