Select Item or Case.llb

Note: This feature ships with LabVIEW 2020 and later. Only download it from here if you are using LabVIEW 2015 through 2019.

 

This plugin replaces the built-in "Select Item" and "Show Case" right-click menu entries for the following items:

  • Enum
  • Enum Constant
  • Ring
  • Ring Constant
  • IO Name Control (VISA Reference, DAQmx Device, etc.)
  • IO Name Constant
  • Case Structure
  • Event Structure

The new Select Item/Show Case functionality displays a Quick Drop-like UI that lets you quickly filter the list and select the item/case you need.

Is there a way to quickly drop enum, ring while running vi?

Unfortunately this plugin only works in edit mode. You would need to add code to your app to programmatically modify the right-click menus at runtime (using the Menu functions) to try to mimic this behavior in a running VI.
