LabWindows/CVI Idea Exchange

Hello,

there are the menu commands 'Save File' and 'Save All Files', and the toolbar can be configured to show a 'Save File' button, but no 'Save All Files' button exists.

For larger projects I would find it convenient to save all modified files after a successful compile and run and thus would enjoy the possibility of a one-click action via a toolbar button.

Thanks.

Hello NI,

CVI permits us to use different tab fit modes, e.g., Single Row Scroll or Multiple Rows, in software developed with CVI. Unfortunately, the IDE itself only has one mode, Single Row Scroll.

Now, if I am working in a slightly larger project with say 12 or 15 files open typically only ten tabs fit on my screen, for all the other files I would need to scroll using the tabs. In such a situation I would prefer having the option to have tabs in multiple rows, allowing accessing all files/tabs with just one mouse click.

The project tree does not always help in this case if one is also using files temporally, i.e., not in the project (for example, if I compare/copy routines from different projects)

Thanks!

CVI provides the ability to use syntax coloring (which is nice )

Right now, C keywords share one color - these keywords include the data types int, double, ...

Unfortunately, the boolean types (bool defined by stdbool.h), including the macros true and false, and the size and pointer difference types are not included, e.g. size_t, intptr_t, ...

This is not a problem because CVI also allows adding user-defined tokens for coloring, it even provides the option to add the VISA types.

In that sense we have the possibility to have core and extra types marked in two different colors - which is also nice.

Now I'd like to mark (my) constants as well, in a different color, and this is not possible.

My suggestion thus is to add a second group of user tokens, which can be colored differently.

Thanks
