When closing project or quitting LabVIEW, Abort VIs dialog should list the VIs

Status: Completed

In LabVIEW 2021, the abort warning dialog will inform you what top-level VIs are running.

 

 

  It would be very usefull to know which VIs are still running.

This would be a reasonable place for a button to actually abort all those running VIs, before one decides to either close or cancel.

Enrico: Agreed, but sometimes my project is locked up and all I can do is close it through Explorer or Task Manager... There are other tricks to close running VIs but most of us want something better out of the box!

If you want us to use the Actor framework or anything like it this is a must !!

Great idea! I would use this.

I would like this list of "still running VIs" to be clickable so that the frontpanel of the VI is opened when you click on the name!
