LabVIEW Idea Exchange
LLBs always had the capability of marking a VI as toplevel.
I wonder if it would be possible to set a flag inside a VI so a VI is recognized as such from within e.g. windows explorer. (e.g. different default icon). Since this requires OS integrations, I don't know if this is even feasible.
Still, It should at least integrate with the LabVIEW project.
The default settings could be very simple:
- A VI without any defined connectors in the connector pane is "toplevel".
- If there is at least one defined connector, the toplevel designation is lost.
- There should be a way to overwrite this in VI properties.
Many times, people attach a zip full of VIs without telling us the name of the toplevel VI, so this idea would limit the number of candidates to inspect.

National Instruments will not be implementing this idea. The LabVIEW Project Window can be used for logical file organization, and the top-level VI(s) of the project should be easily identified by their location in the project hierarchy.
