Element number on Build and Index Arrays

[Matt_S.]

I think it would be an amazing feature if you could have the index of the input of the build array shown. LabVIEW already displays the world "Element", why not go ahead and append the index number to the end so when you have a 30 element build array you don't have to start from the top and count down to see which index you are about to wire to. Would be helpful on the index array as well!

Would go well with this idea. 😄

Still, I see some problems, for example what should it show if you wire an array to the upper input and a scalar to the lower input and hover over the lower input? I cannot know the array size at edit time and thus does not know the element index! Should it just say "input #2", for example?

Actually seems to be a duplicate of this idea.

Indeed it would Altenbach!! Sorry for not seeing your suggestion (which, by the way, was much more elegantly stated).

I do see your point on the arrayed first input.... possibly it does just say "Input #2", as you pointed out. I think that still makes it easier to know what you are wiring to. More information is seldom a bad thing!
