Call Stack for Debugging VIs

Status: Declined

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

As a LabVIEW user, I would like to see who has called the current VIs when a breakpoint is placed on it.

 

From the stack view, when a vi is double clicked, the corresponding vi block diagram should open highlighting the block diagram area from where the call is made to the next vi.

 

If posssible the stack view can show the inputs and outputs of all the VIs in the stack view.

 

An example screen is provided as an attachment.

Look at what happens to the font pull down when you're examining a VI that's halted at a breakpoint:

What you want is already there. Yes, it's weird that the font pull down mutates to a call stack, but I never said it was intuitive.

Thanks. Never bothered to see the font dialog when debugging :-).

May be I can rephrase the idea as having a seperate menu for call stack.
