Possibility to choose TRUE or FALSE state when case structure is placed on block diagramm

[don2000]

When pulling the case structure to the block diagramm, it would be quite handy to choose whether it is TRUE or FALSE, e.g. by pressing CTRL for FALSE state.

Are you proposing this as an alternative to "right-click, Make This Case False"?

Sounds like he wants it to drop as False as the case that's shown when it's dropped.  Sometimes.  If you're holding a key.

I think dropping it, and then CTRL+Scroll is already an awfully fast way to switch to see the false case.  (Ditto for Enabled, Disabled that this fella also posted)

This applies primarily when the case structure is dropped around existing code. I think in ancient LabVIEW  versions, the existing code lived on in the FALSE case (If I remember right), while it now is in the TRUE case. This is a good default.

Picking the right case is a very small programming effort compared to filling the other case with code, adding cases as needed for numeric selectors, etc.. I don't think this idea would really speed up coding overall.

Altenbach: It sounds like you, like me, believe that the user is looking for a faster way to say "Make This Case False".

don2000: Is this the case? Before we debate merits, I'd like to make sure we know what you're asking for.

Hi there,

YES, I'd like to speed up the case selection. It happens quite regularily that i put a CASE structure around already existing code, and a lot of times i have too switch to the correct case afterwards. And that is pretty annoying. With holding down a key (e.g. CTRL) I could decide on creation which state I want the code in.
