Select default poly VI instance (+ perhaps auto-select order)

Status: New

Hi,

 

Real short: I'd like to be able to select the default poly VI instance:

I often make poly VIs with a number of instances that each handle their own data type. This data type list I like to be sorted so the user can easily find the data type they're looking for. That in turn results in I8 usually being at the top of the list, but this is rarely the most common choice. Thus, I'd like to be able to select for example the DBL-instance as default when you drop the poly VI on the BD.

 

Bonus option: Allow us to define the auto-select order; We could have a prioritization list (sort of like defining cluster order) that might differ from the poly VI menu/selector order. The first item of this auto-selection order would be the default selected instance (when nothing is wired to the poly VI, and thus no instance has been auto-selected yet). Such a list would give us control over which instance is selected in the scenario where the connected data types will work for more than one instance in the poly VI.

 

If you kudo this I assume you like the default item selection part. If you also like the bonus option then please state so in the comments.

 

Cheers,

Steen

It would be great to:

 

1) Specify the order in which automatic selection tries to adapt itself (the current dialog does that, as far as I know)

2) Define the order of items as they are shown in the manual selection list independent from the order of 1)

3) Define the default item independent to how 1) and 2) have been setup
