There are times when I leave a VI with modal properties open and then I run the main application that also calls this VI if opened in the development environment. This locks all running windows due to the modal VI. I propose a button in the taskbar that aborts all running VIs OR perhaps a list is opened on right-click of all running VIs 🙂
And then pin it to your LabVIEW icon in the taskbar like so:
Since this has a UI it doesn't help with modal windows (as you requested) so I rewrote another version to just abort all running VIs. It's attached to the same document above.
1) The abort tools posted above do not handle clones of reentrant VIs that are free running either because of the Run VI method or because of the Async Call By Reference "Fire and Forget" mode. Clones are not listed in the "all VIs in memory" list.
Am I missing something? It sounds like this is a bug and NI just needs to fix it. My usual first reaction to "this must be a bug" is "I must not understand it". So, a GOOD explanation could justify this behavior.
