Ability To Hide Unused Data Event Terminal In Event Structure

[Broken_Arrow]

If you are not using the Data Event Terminals in an Event Structure, you might customarily hide them - roll them up so that only one terminal is showing. I would like to hide that remaining terminal. The idea is to not grey-out the Remove Element option when you are down to one terminal. That way, you can remove it. A stub remains to right-click on in order to bring the terminal(s) back if required.

The idea was improperly declined. I'm moving it back to 'New' for now. It is being considered for a future LabVIEW release.

I'm glad to see that Ideas don't expire (as long as they have Kudos). I posted this almost 9 years ago.

An idea expires (is automatically declined) when it's age in years > the number of kudos. Unless it's promoted to "in development" of course.

So it would have expired, in 473 years!

Richard,

This is how it is (Remove Element option greyed-out when there is only one option visible in the Event Node) in LV2016 (& maybe later). I don't know when this was/got changed. What was the LV version you took those snapshots back when you posted this idea?

[wiebe@CARYA]

Those are not snapshots, but photoshopped images to illustrate the idea when it is done.

The Remove Element option is disabled if there is one element left in current LV versions. The idea is to enable the Remove Element option if there is one element left, and the (photoshopped) images illustrate the idea.

It did change in the beta (apparently).

Available in LabVIEW 2020 and later. You can hide an unused event data node within a notify event frame by right-clicking the event structure and unchecking 'Visible Items > Event Data Node for This Case'.
