Helper Window

[Jay1b]

Could someone please tell me how to turn back on the little helper window that is usually displayed in the bottom right hand corner, under the properties. You know you hover on a property and it describes it in this window thingy?

Thanks.

Right click on the properties windows and ensure Description is ticked.

I've already tried that

But thanks anyway.

You're looking for Dynamic Help maybe? Go to the Help menu and turn it on (Ctrl-F1 in my VS).

I have had this problem before. There is a bug (I don't know if it is documented) that sometimes causes the sizable description area at the bottom of the properties window to become too short to be seen, and although a sizing cursor appears when you move the mouse over the separator, when you click, the sizing cursor disappears and you can't resize it. I don't know a way to fix this, except that it seemed to fix itself after a while each time it happened to me.

Mine just came back of its own accord as well ...... strange!
