New VI default always Open with Error In and Error Out control

[Himanshu_Goyal]

New VI or Blank VI open with default Error In and Error Out controls, connected with connector pane.

I agree

@Himanshu: You can do this already! Just go to File>>New... and choose VI>>From Template>>Frameworks>>SubVI with Error Handling. Yes, it's a few clicks, but the second time you go there it is already selected 🙂

@longbow: Then you need to press the kudos button!

I definitely do not agree. Blank VI should be blank VI. If you wish to create a template VI and create new VIs from that, go for it.

I would like to amend this idea with allowing the user to select which .vit is used for a new VI.  I want to be able to create a blank.vit that has error in/out and includes our company logo and our default connector pane.

Here is another idea that goes along with VI templates that deserves Kudos

FWIW, it's possible to do this already with a bit of nous...

Disclaimer - don't edit anything in the following path! If you do, make sure you keep a backup.

In the LV folder, under resource/plugins/, there are a number of VIs that LV calls on certain occasions. For instance, lv_new.vi is what is called when you click File > New.

Create a VI called lv_new_vi.vi in this folder (unless it's already there). First things first, drop a numeric indicator, change its representation to I32, its label to 'return value' and wire to the top right connector of a 4-2-2-4 connector, which should be the default.

Any code inside this VI will now execute whenever CTRL-N or File > New VI is selected.

If you use Application Control > VI Scripting > New VI, you can specify which template you'd like to apply. You could set this to a constant value, but for jeff.kittle's idea, it's not complicated to create a dialog which allows you to select the template for a new VI... including a blank one, to keep Aristos happy.

There should be some OpenG examples around somewhere.
