CVI 2019 - Text Selection Mode?

[scottrod]

What happened to Text Selection Mode from 2017? This was one of my most-used features of the editor.

Hello Scott,

CVI 2019 has new ways for the 3 selection modes

• For normal selection just select the text
• For columnar selection hod <Alt> pressed and do the selection
• For line selection put the cursor on the left edge of the editor and drag it

More information can be found in the help at LabWindows/CVI Fundamentals>>Writing Source Code>>Source Window Overview>>Selecting Text in Source Windows.

One of the several bad changes to remove the buttons from the editor user interface IMO.
