Here is a POC of the intended idea if anyone want to try or improve it feel free (LabVIEW 2015)

FindEvent.zip

One option which might be more relevant for you is having a separate floating VI as your toolbar and using the VI Activation event to interact with the relevant VI

Yeah i was thinking of a kind of engine that would be launched with QD and then live it's life and giving me all the info i need while developing, i'll tell you if i find time to do it

Edit - I suppose you could also poll the window position of the active VI and use that to position the floating VI over the toolbar, but that's hacky and won't work well with all window sizes.

And of course i wanted to knew if there where a way to include it in the toolbar not to have to code some hacky hack

Hi everybody,

While I was having some time to develop new scripting stuff i wondered "would it be possible to add somme scripting stuff in the VI toolbar ? " (the one with run, run-continuously, abort, police stuff and so on). My point is to add kind of a combobox that populate with every events in the current vi for a control when clicking on it. And of course show the effective event and make it blink when selecting it in the combobox.

The scripting part is almost done but i now come to the real problem : 

"How can I add this piece of code in the VI toolbar ?"

I know i can create either a Quidrop Plugin or a shortcut menu plugin but they don't fit the way i wan't to use this plugin.

I asked some NI guy that told me the only options where the one above but I can't imagine that LabVIEW is not in some way developed around a "plugin architecture" so if any of you as plunge deep into LabVIEW's files and know where and how to achieve this goal it would be really nice

Thank's everybody and I hope my question was clear.
