How to add specific help to home made vi or labview standalone applicatio​n ??

Hi, i want to add help for my application, build using labview. so that the application becomes user friendly.
in my application there is one main VI and other 8-10 sub/sub-sub VI's. i want to place handling instructions and other help in the main VI's help menu.
Can anyone help me out for this issue?? how to add that help. currently that "search this vi's help" option is shown disabled in the application.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Besides adding description and tip to each control and indicator, filling in the description in VI properties>Documentation, the LabVIEW Help (of all places) has information on using Microsoft tools to compile a help file. Just search for the topic 'Help'. As we have just seen, the hard part is getting the user to actually use the help.

    Ah, it looks like I should have read your title more carefully. Are the  files on the PCs that you want to share with your iMac in a shared folder?
    If not, follow the steps on this page to set up shares from Windows 7.
    If that is already set up, connect to the share from the iMac using this article.

  • CLM How to add search-help for extension field(New Company Field) in MA.

    Hi all,
         Based on demand,I need to extend a new field(Company) in Master Agreement.
    But I do not know how to add search-help for this field,just like User Accont page.
    Anyone can help me ?thank you very muck.
    Regards,
    JackyCheng

    Hello Jacky,
    To combine all the answers above and have a topic-based reply please go through the below steps:
    #1. Inactivate the current extension field Company (I see it is actually a String value and this is not what you want to have)
    #2. Go to Setup -> System Setup -> Extension Reference Types
    Check if you already have a Company reference type
    If not, create a new Extension Reference Type for Class Company. Fill in all required information.
    #3. Create a new Extension Attribute
    Select Data Type: Object Reference
    Now you can add the Company type as reference

  • How to add search help to custom infotype listbox??

    Hi All,
    How to add search help to custom infotype listbox??
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Vinay,
    We have search help and list box as 2 different options.
    At a time we can make a field a list box or a search help.List box is restricted and we can pick values from the defined list whereas in search help we can allow more entries and then validate the value entered later.
    Implementing a listbox or search help in infotype is same as that of implementing it in a modulepool .
    for search help..we can create a custom search help or check for existing search help in se11
    then in the screen on infotype field..assign the search help direcly at the screen painter level..
    double click on the field in screen painter -> change mode and then in the space for "search help" enter the search helps name
    for list box..in the screen painter ,make sure the field is selected as list box..then in PAI of screen we do a
    (Process on value-request..field fieldname module module name)..check syntax and other details...
    Using function module vrm_set_value fill the field and populate it as required
    Pls check and revert

  • HOW to ADD F4 help to a  field on SCREEN (MODULE POOL)

    Hi,
         How to add f4 help to a field in screen ..plz help
    Regards,
    Saleha

    Hi Saleha,
                    In order to add F4 help to a field in modeule pool follow these steps:-
    1. First go to SE11 and create your own search help( if you dont know how to create a search help please feel free to ask me, it is very easy).
    2. Now in your module pool program program go to the layout of your screen.
    3. Now when you see the attributes of this field in the Dict tab you will find the field Search Help. Now here you can specify the name of the search help you created in SE11.
    There is also another mehtod to create the dynamic search help. eg:- in a posted document data get the Document nos related to that company code.
    The sample code is like this:-
    First of all declare the module below in the flow logic of your screen then create it in your main program.
    You declare the module in the PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
    PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
    FIELD TXT_DOCNO MODULE VALUE_BELNR.
    You also need to create an internal table where you wil store results of the select query fired below in the module.
    here you will get a F4 help on the filed Document Number(TXT_DOCNO) based on the field Company code (TXT_CODCO)
    MODULE VALUE_BELNR INPUT.
    progname = sy-repid.
      dynnum   = sy-dynnr.
      CLEAR: field_value, dynpro_values.
      field_value-fieldname = 'TXT_CODCO'.
      APPEND field_value TO dynpro_values.
    CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
        EXPORTING
          tabname     = 'BKPF'
          fieldname   = 'BUKRS'
          dynpprog    = progname
          dynpnr      = dynnum
          dynprofield = 'TXT_CODCO'.
    CALL FUNCTION 'DYNP_VALUES_READ'
           EXPORTING
                dyname             = progname
                dynumb             = dynnum
                translate_to_upper = 'X'
           TABLES
                dynpfields         = dynpro_values.
      READ TABLE dynpro_values INDEX 1 INTO field_value.
      SELECT  BUKRS BELNR
        FROM  BKPF
        INTO  CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_doc1
        WHERE BUKRS = field_value-fieldvalue.
    CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
           EXPORTING
                retfield    = 'BELNR'
                dynpprog    = progname
                dynpnr      = dynnum
                dynprofield = 'TXT_BELNR'

    Hello,
    In a program, we use ALV object ( container) to create a liste like : field1, field2 .. but when display we do not have search help for this . Could you please help me how to add match code in this case for field 1 and field2, We use set_table_for_first_display
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    when you define your field catalogue you can create data elements with search help in se11 and use them for field 1 and field 2.
    But maybe it is enough to use data elements belonging to a domain with a value help and to set field F$AVAILABL in the field catalogue or to fill the name of the field CHECKTABLE.
