Quick question - LabVIEW search tool

[Former NI Employee MS]

Hello,

I've got a quick question, and I guess I didn't find the right keywords, since I couldn't get my answer by googling it

Let's given that I have a typedefed enum, called ENUM_myenum, that has three values:

- Value_One

- Value_Two

- Value_Three

I can use the search tool (Ctrl + F) in order to find all instances of ENUM_myenum. Good.

But how can I search for all instances of ENUM_myenum of value Value_Two

Is this even possible ?

It gets annoying when taking over someone else's code

Thanks in advance

You can do a Ctrl-F Find search, but change the search type to Text and put Value_Two as the search object.  Note that you can choose whether or not to ignore Case (capitalization) and a few other options.  It will find not only the Enum value, of course, but also where you documented (you do document your VIs, don't you?) Value_Two ...
