How can I reference an external help file from context sensitive help at the control level?

My goal is to provide context sensitive help for each control displayed on the front panel using a help file created externally. I know that at the VI level I can specify a Help Path; I want the same behaviour for each control inside a VI. I also know about creating a custom control and specifying the Help Path in there, but it doesn't help in this situation, for I have hundreds of controls in my application and I cannot go back and replace each one with a unique .ctl. If I could override each instance of the custom control with unique path data that would do the trick, but that's not how it works.
Is there a way to add the Help Path information to regualr controls?

This functionality is not yet built into LabVIEW.
About all you can do is cut and paste the help for each control into the description for the control. It is tedius but a finite task.

  • HT4007 I have just transferred all my raw, jpeg & tiff files into LR4 and using to opportunity to delete old raw files to free up disc space. How can i completely remove a raw file from my msc disc??

    I have just transferred all my raw, jpeg & tiff files into LR4 and using the  opportunity to delete old raw files to free up disc space. How can i completely remove a raw file from my mac disc??

    I'd be careful here: LR references files. It can copy them, like from an SD card to your hard drive, but it doesn't necessarily make duplicates. So when you say you "transferred" those files "into" LR it just means you referenced existing files. And if you delete those they're gone, unless you've made copies. LR does not import files by copying them into a managed library like Aperture does.

  • How can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac?

    how can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac? i have a client that specificly needs the files to be avi and in 24bit what are the settings that i need to use to export the video using photoshop on a mac?

    Hello,
      To make a 24-bit AVI file in Photoshop, go to File>Export>Render Video. Then, under File Options, choose AVI from the Quicktime Export drop-down menu. Click the Settings button. Click the Settings button in the AVI Settings window. Change Compression to None, and then choose "Millions of Colors" from the Depth drop-down under Compression.
      The Millions of Colors option is for 24-bit video (8-bit R+G+B channels, 8x3=24). Millions of Colors+ is for 32-bit video (24-bit video plus an 8-bit alpha channel).

    Hello briggiebunny
    If iTunes can read the movie files, then you will need to create an iPad version by going to the drop down menu File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version and then syncing that newly created file.

  • How can I copy a paragraph of text from a Kindle book on the iPad?

    I just purchased a book to read on the Kindle app on my iPad.
    I would like to copy a paragraph of text to email to someone or to possibly quote in a blog post.
    How can I copy a paragraph of text from a Kindle book on the iPad?

    I'm very late to the conversation but thought I'd chime in since I've just been dealing with this myself. One way to copy from Kindle books is to make sure that you have your settings to backup highlights etc. online, then highlight the text in the Kindle app, go to your Kindle webpage (https://kindle.amazon.com/your_highlights) and copy the text from there.
    Remember, to be able to do this you have to set the app to backup highlights etc. I think this is set individually for each book. On my iPad the default is to backup.

  • How can one send email-sized photo files as attachments in Mail, without the photos appearing within the email?s

    How can one send email-sized photo files as attachments in Apple Mail, without the photos appearing in the body of the email?  If it can be done, it's not at all obvious, at least not to me.  Thanks for any help you can provide.

    The "View as icon" option shrinks the photo to an icon in the sender's Apple Mail, but how it appears to the recipient varies dependingy on what e-mail client he/she uses.
    Using Apple Mail 5.0 (the Lion version) at both ends, the sender can use the "View as icon" option to shrink his view of the photo to an icon, but the recipient also using Apple Mail 5.0 still sees the full photo in line with the message text. The recipient can then use the "View as icon" option to shrink it to an icon, but I don't think that's not what jackofarabia is looking for.
    As far as I know there is no way in the current Apple Mail to do what jackofarabia wants. There should be, but there isn't.

  • How can i transfer more than one file from server to client

    Hi,
    our requirement is transfer more than one files from server to client using the
    webutil_file_transfer.as_to_client_with_progress.One file transfer is already working in our system.If anybody know the solution please inform
    regards
    mat

    just an idea ...
    for this purpose let us put aside security concerns and other potential problems....
    -- Get the content of a server directory with Filter and create zip file
    1) create a class that implements java.io.FilenameFilter ...
    2) define accept() method ...
    3) call File.list() with the filter as a parameter. The returned array of strings will have all the names that passed through the accept() filter
    4) use java.util.Zip to create ZIP file on the server side
    -- I think it is better to create this functionality as a separate Java class, put it in required folder and after it
    -- use Forms->Program->"Import Java class" to create pl/sql wrappers, than to create wrappers for all classes and code in pl/sql
    5) use webutil to transfer file on the client
    6) use Java on client side to unzip transferred file
    if you think this is not too complicated, you should try ...

  • Need help with a Context Sensitive Help project

    Hey everyone,
    I'm the RoboHelp administrator around here - I've done some
    RoboHelp projects and created the procedures, stylesheets and
    templates for our company's WebHelp, WinHelp 2000, and JavaHelp
    projects, but now I'm sort of the consultant for the content
    authoring team that creates the help systems. I think I need to
    call in some help from the forum about a project I'm consulting on.
    Here's the situation: A project team here thinks they want
    field-level help to support a web-based application. I've told them
    "That's fine, it's possible, just don't demand that the help author
    create topics for EVERY field, even the obvious ones like "Name",
    "Address", "Zip", etc, since there is very, very little value in
    doing that." We already have a very old help system that is being
    CONVERTED to WinHelp 2000 (from a "mocked-up" version of WinHelp)
    that did just that - every field in every screen was a separate
    topic, even if it wasn't useful. Every topic was essentially "This
    information goes in this field". As a result, we abandoned creating
    an Index, since we had about 27 entries for "Name", 13 for
    "Address1", 15 for "Address2", etc.
    Well, I just heard back yesterday that they totally ignored
    my suggestion and they want to go ahead with the "all help for all
    fields" idea. I still think I have a chance of convincing them to
    choose context-sensitive topics wisely, if it can present my case
    clearly and be persuasive. I just found John Daigle's article about
    context sensitive help (
    http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/robohelp/articles/context_help.html)
    and I'm looking at it now (very well done, by the way - thanks
    John!). It looks like, from first glance, that it might convince
    that project team that "Whoa, this context-sensitive thing is more
    than we bargained for", which is what I want them to think, since
    they have very limited resources and a help author that is VERY new
    to RoboHelp and WebHelp. I personally have never built a
    context-sensitive help project with different windows, but I have
    built several projects using conditional builds.
    What does everyone think of this approach?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Here's a nice, convincing argument that I just thought of -
    the only thing wrong with it is that I don't know if it's true or
    not.
    Does the end user's browser cache the .htm files for the help
    topics that are grabbed from the server? If so, consolidating the
    field definitions lessens the server traffic.
    (Always get the server guys on your side - everywhere I've
    worked, they wield a big stick!)
    Also, I'm a big believer in functional help topics, but I
    have compromised for some clients and included one-per-screen
    conditional topics with the field labels. John, I wish I had known
    about the map numbering trick back then - I would have loved to
    give them F1 help.

  • How can I find Bitlocker External Key File location?

    My Windows 8.1 PC includes a system drive and data drives. All the drivers were encrypted using Bitlocker with the data drives set for autounlock. 
    I recently decrypted the system drive (without decrypting the data drives) and reinstalled the OS, after which my data drives required the Bitlocker recovery key to unlock. 
    However, I had "backed up" the recovery keys to my Microsoft account but now I can find only the recovery keys for the system drive. The recovery keys for the data drives cannot be found on my Microsoft account. 
    I have tried to use the "manage-bde" command at the console to obtain the recovery password but I am only getting the Numerical Password ID and the External Key File Name. Can anyone provide advice on how I can retrieve the passwords or the
    External Key File location?
    Thanks.

    Hi Ridgewood,
    As my point of viewer, the BitLocker Automatic unlock volume is also protected by BitLocker Disk Encryption. The user encrypted information is stored in the registry and volume metadata. After a user unlocks the operating system volume, BitLocker uses the
    encrypted information to unlock the data volume automatically.
    After the reinstallation of the system, the encrypted information is lost and BitLocker can’t unlock the data volume automatically.
    Every volume has own recovery key.
    As mentioned in your post, the data drive require the recovery key to unlock.
    I suggest you to double-check the OneDrive and try to find out where did you store the recovery key.
    If you can’t find the recovery key, we can’t help you to decrypt the data volume.

  • Just changed hardrives on my computer. How can I reference my photos and backups from my old HDD?

    I just switched my HDD for a SDD on my laptop. All files on my old HDD are still intact, the backups and photos are all in the same place. I will be using the HDD as an external hardrive. What is the best way to reference my photos and backups in lightroom that I reinstalled on my SDD?

    I do apologize if I am still missing what I am supposed to follow on that
    link, but I don't think it applies to me.I may not have explained fully
    what I am trying to accomplish. I have a laptop computer, I replaced my HDD
    with an SSD then I replaced my my optical drive with my old HDD. I am
    storing all of my software and OS on the SSD, so i reinstalled creative
    cloud and lightroom on the SSD. I am storing all of my documents on my hard
    drive. So right now when I open lightroom on my new SSD there are no
    pictures, because its a fresh install of the software on my new rive. On my
    HDD i still have all of my photos, backups, and even software. I am in the
    process of deleting the OS and software off of the HDD and software files.
    Before I do that I want to make sure that I have transferred everything
    that I am going to need. How can I get my pics on my new version of
    lightroom? Thanks again for the help.
