<Ctl+Click> on VI in Proj Explorer Should Open Blk Diag


Recommended Posts

Hi NI Engineers:

Right now, clicking on a VI in LV project explorer only opens the VI's front panel. :(

I think it would be great if <Ctl+Clicking> on the same VI in LV project explorer would open the block diagram of the VI if the front panel was already open. :lightbulb:

In many cases I run a VI after opening it in project explorer, later to find out that there is no way to access the block diagram unless I stop the VI first. :blink:

The other wish list is that: clicking on a VI should open both the front panel and block diagram :lightbulb:

Good idea, there is already some action to open both Frontpanel and blockdiagram of a SubVI, the same should be done here.

Another trick is to search for some text that is present on the block diagram!

Or build a tiny VI that opens the block diagram if <ctrl-e> is hit. :ninja:
