Description of native LabVIEW elements

[Ton Plomp]

Hi All,

As we all know we must document our code...

For loops I normally use the Label option.

But for larger loops with more code in them I thought of the description item (tip strip is not available)

I prefer the description over the free labels because they only appear if you want....

or well that is what I expected. If you hover over the while loop it will show in the context help, and not my description but the help information about the loop.....

Does anyone know how to alter this? Or should this be on the bug list??

No, it cannot be altered. It is a feature, not a bug.

It is a feature, not a bug.

I agree - in edit mode, the LabVIEW help should be about the LabVIEW use of the structures, not the custom code that you've put inside it. There was a discussion recently on documentation on the BD - try a search (it was in the last couple of months or so...)
