Case Structure / Event Structure Selector Label shows Multiline

[daveTW]

Hello community,

I would like to introduce the idea of having the selector label being able to break into multiline if the string of selections, handled by this case, is too long for the width of the case / event structure.

I work a lot with enums, either for indicating states or for named indices in arrays. If one case handles some of them and they are not subsequent, the list quick gets quite long, so I have to stretch the block diagram very wide to have them all displayed. Even more obviously this problem is to be seen with event structures, using the the same frame for a lot of events on a number of different controls.

The size of the selector label could increase downwards like the subdiagram label.

What do you think about this?

Probably a duplicate of this idea from 2017: https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Allow-vertical-Case-and-Event-selector-lists/idi-p/36...

Yes, this is the very same idea. Strange I didn't find it before.

So, I go there and kudo this idea.

It is a pitty that this old idea isn't taken into account yet.

Yes, the title of the old idea is missing the keywords "selector label" and "multiline".

It's not even the worst. Some very needed and basic ideas with more than 200 kudos are there since nearly 2 decades and still have not been addressed by NI...
