Easily Create Reference from Block Diagram Object (if Scripting is On)

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 7 kudos within 7 years after posting will be automatically declined.

Why not be able to easily create BD object references in the same manner as FP objects - assuming the user is using Scripting?

Add Intellisense support to property nodes, a tst production.

The link to the other idea is broken. Here's the correct link - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Add-Intellisense-support-to-the-property-node/idi-p/15....  The reference to the class specifier constant there is in one of the options in the list.

 

 

Which isn't to say the other options (such as dragging the object into the constant to get its class) are bad. While we're at it, I might as well mention this related idea - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Allow-vi-server-reference-type-as-case-selector/idi-p/...

We can at least do it on the Front panel to some extent. I have posted the VI which I mentioned earlier in a Micro-Nugget...
