help with object description resizing/wrapping


X___

Recommended Posts

I need some help recovering the trick to use so that a long control description is wrapped properly when resizing the Context Help window (which is not the case in the attached example).

I couldn't find anything about this in the Help or in the intertubes, although I can see that I have used some kind of trick in the past to get it to work in some controls.

Thanks.

For the record, text wrapping in the context Help window has been confirmed by NI support to work as "expected" which means in the following way:

1) if you have a single paragraph with NO carriage return, the text will wrap:

2) If you have a single (isolated) carriage return ANYWHERE in the text (as after the first sentence in the original post), wrapping is suppressed (that's the "expected" behavior according to NI R&D).

For instance, if I press return after the first sentence in the Description above, wrapping is suppressed:

3) You have to introduce carriage returns IN PAIRS, in order to get a new line AND preserve wrapping:

Of course then you get an empty line that you may not necessarily wanted...
