Place VI Content on Cursor using User Interaction Invoke Nodes

rcpacini — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 10:40:02 GMT

Is it possible to Place the Content of a VI on the Cursor using the VI Scripting "User Interaction > Place Object on Cursor" (UI:PlaceObjectOnCursor) Invoke node without a "Place VI Content" palette menu? Currently, if you pass the path into the UI:PlaceObjectOnCursor invoke node, the subVI will be placed on the cursor. If you configure the palette menu to "Place VI Content" then use the UI:PlacePaletteObjectOnCursor invoke node, the content of the VI will be placed on the Cursor.

Are there any options to Place VI Content on the Cursor without creating a palette menu? Any help would be appreciated.

This feels like a bug - it seems like you should be able to wire "True" to mergeVI in your first example to achieve the result you want, but this doesn't work (I tried).

The bug remains in LV2013. Not very useful if I have to add the vi to the palette first. And it would be so much more useful if the node accepted an GObject in as an alternative to type or path.

Did this never get a CAR assigned to it? I just tested it in 2015 and it still is an issue. Placing a subVI based on the path works if merge is left as false, but setting merge to true does nothing.
