Would a tooltip work? Here's an example for reference:

Example Programs: Attaching ToolTips to LabWindows/CVI Controls

 

Hope this helps!

Tooltips are a powerful means of deisplaying help on controls. With recent versions of CVI you no more need to use the tooltip instrument driver since they have been integrated in the IDE.

Starting from CVI2012, infact, you can set the tooltip text in the UI editor:

You can also set it programmatically with the commands:

SetCtrlToolTipAttribute (panelHandle, PANEL_CONTROL, CTRL_TOOLTIP_ATTR_TEXT, "This is the tooltip text");
SetCtrlToolTipAttribute (panelHandle, PANEL_CONTROL, CTRL_TOOLTIP_ATTR_ENABLE, 1); 

 



Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.
