Switch between windows while dragging

Hello,

 

like in the topic I would like to know if it is possible to drag a control from a project or a vi from library while switching between windows somehow. Like Alt+Tab style in windows. If I do alt+tab drag loses focus. I usually have many VI's open and it is a pain to drag and drop between them. I lose time on making the VI I want the thing in be on top, then making llb I am dragging from go on top...

 

Can I do it more effectively?

 

Thanks in advance.

Assuming Windows:

If you want to drag from one applicator to another, when you are dragging you can hover over the taskbar until you get a preview of the window you want, hover over that window - it will open and you can then drop.

This is what I normally do 🙂

Doesn't seem to be working for me on Windows 10. I've tried it. Maybe it is locked in LV somewhere.

 

Works fine for normal files in the windows explorer.

 

Got any other ideas?
