Hot pink to show dependency

Status: New

It can happen that a VI, or worse a typedef, gets inadvertently pulled into code from another library or class simply to reuse code.

Using "Why is this item in the Dependencies" isn't particularly helpful in a large project.

 

Could not the offending dependency be marked with hot pink or similar to using a breakpoint? Could the Breakpoint Manager be adapted to finding dependencies?

Can someone from NI provide input on what maybe feasible? That was the original thought of extending currently available functionality for this task before dreaming up something new. And wonderful of course.
