Improved search scope for Quick Drop

Status: Declined
Available in NI LabVIEW 2009

With the introduction of quick drop it has become extremely efficent to type the funciton you want and have it dropped....quickly....on the block diagram. It would be a nice addition to have this same functionality added to not only the VIs and controls that are in the palettes, but also for the VIs and controls that are in the dependency list for the project. This functionality would allow me to essentially quick drop any of the custom, applicaiton specific VIs that are developed.

 

I realize that this could require quite a bit of refreshing of the quick drop master VI list so as an alternative how about allowing quick drop to scan a particuar project and it's dependencies and add them to the list the first time quick drop is called from a particular project.

 

I could also see the need for a "Force Update" button to force the list to be refreshed after large changes to the dependency list have occured.

So you're telling me you want Quick Drop to allow you to drop project items?  Yeah, that is a pretty cool idea.  It would not be unreasonable to see that kind of feature in LabVIEW in August sometime in the future.  😉

I am changing the status from Completed to Declined because Completed should only be ideas that R&D say on Idea Exchange, actively developed on it based on the idea, and it was added to the product
