Hello Again LabVIEW Advanced Virtual Architects! LabVIEW 8 has a new palette arrangement that includes the File Dialog Express VI available from the File I/O>>Advanced File Functions palette. The File Dialog function (primitive) is no longer available on the default palettes. I have some questions: 1. Has everyone used the new File Dialog Express VI in your LV 8 applications? How do you like it? 2. Do you prefer large or small icon view for your File Dialog Express VI? Why? 3. Are any of you deliberately using the File Dialog function? Have you added it back onto your palette? Where? and Why? 4. Among all the Express VIs, which is your favorite? Thanks! Peter Blume

Thanks for your responses to my post regarding Express VIs. I am going to initiate a related post under LabVIEW 8, regarding the new File Dialog Express VI. Sincerely, Peter Blume

Hello LabVIEW Advanced Virtual Architects! I have some questions regarding Express VIs: 1) Do advanced LabVIEW users, such as yourselves, use Express VIs? 2) If the answer is yes, do you use them initially for fast prototyping, or do you keep them in your code long-term? 3) If you keep them in your code long-term, do you view them as big or small icons? Why? 4) If you don't keep them in your code long-term, do you create diagarms from them and then manually optimize for your application, or do you replace them with brand new code written from scratch? 5) If you don't use them at all, what is the reason? Thanks! Peter Blume PS - I'm not sure if this constitutes a formal survey, but many people are encouraged to respond!
