Hello ElectroLund!

 

Thank you for reporting this error to us! Unfortunately there is no workaround available at the moment, for using the Edit Tooltip String dialog in CVI 2013 SP2 from the UIR Editor.

I have filed this bug under ID #492787, for future reference, so that it will be fixed in an upcoming release of LabWindows/CVI.

 

Sorry for any inconvenience and thank you!

Best regards!

Hello again, ElectroLund!

 

Note, that if you need to input a multiline tooltip text, you can still perform one of the following workarounds:

  1. Insert a newline character (\n) in the string of the Tooltip Text field in the Property Browser.
  2. Programmatically set the attribute.

Best regards!
