LabView context help appears at runtime

[mrbean]

We've seen in some instances, the context help (for our LabVIEW VIs) appear during some of our TestStand testing.  This (in the final product) is undesirable.  Is there a way to ensure (when running the test executive - operator interface) that the Context Help is disabled?  I saw a thread out in the LabVIEW forum that showed how to capture the Ctrl-H event.  I am using a customized TestStand HMI, but if the context help is disabled to start with, the end user (not familiar with LabVIEW's shortcut keys) would most likely not try a Ctrl-H.

Hello mrbean,

I'm not quite sure if this is the discussion forum you saw, but the disable context help discusses a similar issue.  This is something you can setup programmatically LabVIEW and it also discusses how to remove the crtl-H/h situation as well.

Another way to address this situation would be to:  File>> VI Properties>> Window Appearrance>> Change to Top Level Application Window.  Click Ok, now when you run the VI the Context Help Box goes away on the front panel.
