Add File... Print menu option to LabVIEW class to support printing documentation

Status: New

As of LabVIEW 2010, the Class Properties dialog includes a page for Documentation, which includes a Description field.  There is, however, no File menu and therefore no option to print out the documentation for a class.

 

This suggestion is to add such a menu and on that menu an option to print documentation, along the lines of what VIs and controls already support.  The option should support printing documentation for the class, including all its components (attributes--via the control--and methods).

 

I have made this suggestion previously through NI support, but wanted to capture this on this forum as well.

Definitely, we need this. Why hasn't this received more kudos? Is there a common method for generating documentation of a class?

I would like to see the equivalent of doxygen so that we can drill down and see relationships as well.
