There is an OpenG function which does this, a native polymorphic version would be so much better. A lot of times I have an array of clusters, and I want to filter the array by testing the value of one of the elements. This feature would really help clean up the code.

Do you also hate looking for the property or class you want through the whole hierarchy of nested menus?

Well, no more - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Add-Intellisense-support-to-the-property-node/idi-p/1540954

Wouldn't it be cool if the specific dynamic dispatch icon and wire appearance were displayed in highlight execution?

Please vote for this idea:

Make the LabVIEW "resource" folder a symbolic path

If you have ever tried to build reusable tools for LabVIEW, you understand the pain. Currently, it is extremely difficult or almost impossible to build any tools that call VIs inside of the LV resource folder.

Hi,

I have added an idea here to hopefully improve the usability of the LVCompare function idea link

I would like to optional command line switch to be available from within the resulting "Differences" window

cheers

Please vote for the Bundled Project Library. It is like a Packed Project Library but is not compiled. It would be an lvlibb - a single file containing everything in the library.

I didn't know there was a place to post these on LAVA... I posted an idea that you OOP guys should like:

A simple "New -> Child Class" menu item in the context menu when you right-click an existing class...

you use a non-english LV version and want to give feedback to NI on localization? >> vote here

note : I'm not using localized LV at work, but when I teach LV at university the students do use localized versions so I get to see some mistakes and feel like I should help NI to improve that.

[SteveChandler]

Do you ever create a control or indicator on a front panel by copying an existing one rather than going to the palette? Maybe you set a bunch of properties on the original and want to copy from that so you don't have to set them again on another control.

What is the very first thing you do after copying a new control? You edit the label to give it a new name. But after you make a copy the control is selected and not the label text. This idea is to select the text in the label after making a copy so that it is ready to start typing the new name. About ten percent of the time that I double click the text to select it all I end up turning off size to text. Grr..

[Yair]

OK, for this one NI needs actual feedback. Which is better?

Should the index inputs on LVOOP array element accessors be required? Read the comments there and then vote (or not):

Catch ROI change events on image display controls

I'm sure you're probably aware of this, but what I've done in the past is use the Mouse Up event on the control, and then check to see if the ROI has changed from what it was previously. Still nothing wrong with catching this event.
