Displaying Tab Page Names in the Block Diagram when accessing the Local Variables

[sriveni]

Hi

In the block diagram, it would be helpful if LabVIEW can display the full link or name of tab page when accessing the local variables . This is very useful if we have multiple controls with same variable names on different tab pages.

I am not sure if there is any idea submitted on this, I could see idea which I had thought of adding.

I would, as a reflex, say that you shouldn't have multiple controls or indicators with the same Label.  You can give them different Labels and then display the Caption to let them share any common text.

Some internal functions use a control name to get or set values and these will NOT work reliably if controls or indicators share labels, therefore it is generally discouraged.
