Add "show method in Project" for Actor Messages as a right click option

Status: New

Add a right click option to navigate to the method in the project window when you right click on a send message VI. Bonus if it gave you an option to go to the base class method or any overriding methods.

That's really tricky to implement.

A) There may be zero, one, or many methods called by any given message's "Do.vi"

B) Even when there's only 1 method, implementing this involves searching the Do.vi for a subVI node... that's the only association guaranteed.

 

Method to message is a known link. The reverse is not. We could search Do.vi for the first method node that we find. I suppose that would cover the majority of use cases.

Bummer it's not an easy one. As you said, even displaying the Do.vi or its contained method in the project would be nice.

 

Thanks
