Add Option to Display Conditional Disable Symbol Values from a Builds Executable

Status: Declined

Any idea that has not received any kudos within a year after posting will be automatically declined. 

I'd like a way to find out what the values of the defined Conditional Disable Symbols were set to when a project build was performed after it is distributed as an executable - from the executable. In a complex application setting symbols incorrectly for the build can cause issues that might be easily detected if the symbol's values were available for examination from the executable.

 

I can easily create that option manually in my application; but it seems that LabVIEW should provide a method to do this without me having to write code. It can't be a toolbar option; many LabVIEW distributed applications don't have one. I'd think maybe a control-key sequence that popped up a window listing the conditional disable symbols and the values of them used in the build would be a really great addition to LabVIEW.

Somebody could write a prebuild or postbuild hook which uses the VIs described here:

Showing the results in the warning display would be nice, but I do not know how to do this. (I know it for the error window, but this fails the build.)
