Adding several controls to connector pane at once

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 2 kudos within 2 years after posting will be automatically declined. 

Simple suggestion: Let us select several controls at once and drag'n'drop them onto the connector pane.

 

Let's for example say you're making some activeX wrappers and use the quick drops excellent "create all terminals" (or what it's called, ctrl+d, although the automatic placing needs some polish). Now you've got e.g. 3 controls and 3 indicators.

 

Now i want to select all control and drag'n'drop them to the connector pane so they fill slot 1-3 from where i drop them, and then i'll do the same with the indicators.

 

It'd also be grand if some logic would recognize error clusters and place them in the bottom corners.

That seems like a pretty specific use case to me. I would suggest simply creating another QDKS to do this or automating the creation of the wrappers, similar to what's shown in this thread - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-can-I-develop-a-ring-control-with-sub-menus/m-p/1795042#M619959

My explanation is very specific, but the ability to add/place several controls at once on the connector pane is a general idea. 🙂
