Free Labels to Block Diagram Constants Conversion

[patibandla]

single click we can create Lable in the Block Diagram.

if we want to create constants(sting , enum,numaric etc), it will take three steps.

by converting the Free Labels to Constants, I feel it is easy way to create Block diagram constants.

If you upgrade to LabVIEW 2015, available today for users with an active SSP, you'll be able to use this:

This is a plug-in for LabVIEW's popup menus that I wrote it this morning. I took a slightly different route to implementing it -- I added only a single "Change to Constant" menu item and let the code do the work of figuring out the best type. It seemed better than flooding the menu with lots of different types. If you prefer your style, the code is entirely written in G. You are able to edit it and modify the menu items as you see fit.

Welcome to LabVIEW 2015!

Stephen Loftus-Mercer is going to have way too much fun on the idea exchange now...

"Make you own plugin!"

I'm not so callous. I'm not insisting you write all of your own.  🙂 Here's the site where this and many other plug-ins are available for download:

A few of us at NI have spent the last couple months since LV 2015 was finalized writing various plug-ins for many ideas on the exchange to have a rich offering as soon as 2015 became available.

AristosQueue: Thanks for taking my inputs.

LabVIEW is Grate tool.day by day improvement can reach unlimited hights.

Thanks Aristos!

I do however think this idea merits being built in. One suggestion- use a sub-menu for all the data type options to keep the clutter out of the top level.
