Below are some of the improvements I could think of reg VI Properties. Hope these are not posted elsewhere in the Idea Exchange (did a search, but got different results). 🙂
- Make the VI Properties window non-modal & allow it on multiple VIs at a time. Include the VI name in the title bar (I saw a similar idea, so including it here).
- Or/And, allow multiple VI Properties windows to be opened & configured at a time, at least across multiple projects, if not feasible among multiple VIs within the same project at a time. Now this is possible only if you open multiple instances of LabVIEW (of same ver) to open your different projects at a time.
- When we rt-click a SubVI & select Properties, the least we expect is to see its Label property. Change this context menu to VI Properties (if the rt-click is on a SubVI), or change the behavior to invoke the VI Properties window by default when rt-clicked on a SubVI. Countless times I have been annoyed by this feature. Why would someone need to physically open a SubVI to check its Properties?
Any comments/takers... ?
