lv_new_vi.vi ConPane

[Black Pearl]

I'm trying to hijack the CTRL+N shortcut to start with a template vi instead of a blank vi. I guess my problem is, that I have the wrong ConPane for the lv_new_vi.vi . In some old threads I found discussions about it, but there was no code to extract the ConPane (maybe due to the server crash).

I posted a VI which does this in this thread, but as you said, the attachments are missing. You can use the report to a moderator button on the post to ask the moderator to find the function. I also posted a document in that thread (reply 21) which shows the various plugin overrides you can use.

I can't look at either of them at the moment, but if memory serves, the conpane for the VI is the 4-2-2-4 pane with an I32 output wired to the top-right corner. I believe it should be 1 if you want to cancel the creation of a new VI or 0 if you want to allow it (or the other way around, or it might have been 1 and 2).

Here's the document. It doesn't mention what the output value should be, but as I said, the only valid values I know of are 1 and 0.

Got it!

The name of the control must be 'return value'. Guess they use GetValue property somewhere.

You're right. I didn't notice that now because I was actually looking at a subVI which had the output labeled something like "create new VI?".
