LabVIEW Shortcut Menu Plug-Ins
Author: fefepeto_kb
This is an Edit time plug-in created as a response to the idea on the LabVIEW ideas forum: Open class private data from block diagram / panel - NI Community. Therefore all creative credits for the problem statement and expected solution go to Robzilla.
This plug-in allows opening the Class Private Control directly from the class control or indicator on the front panel or their respective terminals on the block diagram.
This plug in is not available with interfaces, therefore does not alter the behavior of the development environment and the shortcut menu when used on interface controls or terminals.
This plug in does not cover class wires or constants, if there is such a need the solution can be expanded as a separate plug in for those use-cases.
Multiselect is disabled in the plug-in, right now the only way to make it work is to right click on a class control/indicator or their respective terminals and have nothing else selected.
Attachment is saved in LabVIEW 2026. If versions for older version are needed let me know, and I will try to backport it for the given LabVIEW version. For install instructions, go here.
