Get VI Dependencies method should return inlined VIs as well

Status: New

Hi,

 

I suggest the Get VI Dependencies method should return inlined VIs as well:

Inlined VIs are certainly proper dependencies and they show in the VI hierarchy window as well. Currently the Get VI Dependencies method does not return inlined VIs.

 

If a use case is needed my particular situation is that GPower is developing some tools to sort out cross-linking and interdependencies between build specifications and stuff like that. Currently it's as hard to detect inlined VIs as it is to detect running Top-level clones in memory; there are ways, but they aren't too obvious 🙂

 

Cheers,

Steen
