Find all instances of local variables and property nodes of a given front panel object

[Thaler]

I find it difficult to pinpoint the local variables and property nodes in a program with many layers (cases, events...). It would be very helpful if LabVIEW had a list of all property nodes and local variables in one place, like a table, and with a click one could jump directly to the selected instance.

This is already done.  If you right-click on the control or its terminal, there is an option for Find->Local Variable.  If there is only one, it will jump to it.  If there are more than one, it opens up the search dialog.  Same thing for property nodes.  And if the search dialog is used, you can use Ctrl+g to jump to the next item in the search.

 This functionality is already present, as described by crossrulz: "If you right-click on the control or its terminal, there is an option for Find->Local Variable.  If there is only one, it will jump to it.  If there are more than one, it opens up the search dialog.  Same thing for property nodes.  And if the search dialog is used, you can use Ctrl+g to jump to the next item in the search."

I realize this is an old thread, but wanted to add one more search for control tip that I just learned due to trying to find a hidden Ctl type-def reference in a JKI SM module. I had swapped out the control type from SIlver to NXG, and made the new one a type-def, deleted the old one, updated where needed and all is good. Okay, not really, because I had a hidden constant I had created and dropped in one of the cases.

So to find it, I discovered today, open the type-def to edit, place mouse on icon in upper right corner for this open type-def, right click, and bottom item in menu shows 'Find All Instances'  which took me directly to the offending constant.
