Polymorphic VI Improvements

Status: New

Here are a couple of ideas to improve the Polymophic VI (along with this, this and this)

 

Allow selecting Multiple VIs when adding VIs to a Polymorphic VI:

Allow adding files by Dragging and Dropping files from disk:

Add a RTM Shortcut entry for creating a Polymorphic VI to the Project Menu:

Increase the default size of the Polymorphic VI screen:

I normally always have to enlarge it (twss)

Note: a small UI glitch occurs when this happens too.

Would you mind if I get a moderator to break this into two separate ideas? The idea for "Add a RTM Shortcut entry for creating a Polymorphic VI to the Project Menu" has been considered before by R&D and rejected, and I'd like to see how the kudos stack up for the two ideas independently.

As far as I am concerned you are a LabVIEW god and can do what you like.
But yes, I have no problems with that. 🙂

I would give my vote definitly for the first idea. Not for the second. Aristos Queue where did you post the two indepentend idea's?

Just came to the forum to request the first item here.

 

If you're creating a polymorphic VI, you never want just one instance VI defined -- would be a big time saver to be able to simply select multiple VIs at the same time, and I'd imagine that the code change itself would be trivial for the LabVIEW team to implement...
