I could not find any way to search for shared variables in my project. We need a way to search for shared variables from inside the project and using the find option inside VIs.
This is Darin from LabVIEW R&D,
specifically I'm responsible for driving continuous improvement and new
features into the Shared Variable.
In LabVIEW 2009, we
responded to this feedback. If you launch a LV project, you can
right-click on a variable and select 'Find Callers'. If you have
multiple instances of the variable, then you will get a list like this:
when you double-click a VI in this list, it will highlight the VI in the project that contains an instance of the variable.
Also,
on a variable node on a block diagram, you can right-click it and
select: 'Show Variable in Project'. This move the focus to the LV
project window and highlight the variable.
For future
releases, we would like to have Find that works more like Ctrl-F find
in LabVIEW, but we had to make a tradeoff between doing what we did in
LV 2009 and doing nothing for a few releases.
I hope you like the feature and it will address your needs.
