Show Reentrancy in Context Help

Status: In Development

Hi all,

 

What I'm asking for is an optional indication of reentrancy in the context help window.

This would save the user from having to open VI Properties on several VIs, and would be particularly useful when viewing the VI hierarchy.

 

 

I realize that Greg Freeman suggested something similar.  My intent here is to narrow down several ideas from that conversation down to a single suggestion.


(I hope I still didn't manage to post a duplicate. Apologies if I did.)

 

Thanks,

 

Jim

An update on how LabVIEW R&D plans to respond to this Idea in a future version of LabVIEW:

  • The Context Help for VIs will show reentrancy (if it's not non-reentrant), execution priority (if it's not "normal"), preferred execution class (if it's not "standard" or "same as caller"), and if "inline subVI into calling VIs" is enabled.
  • The Context Help for the Call Library Function Node will show the function prototype and the library path (but only if it actually has a function to call).

These settings will be shown in a "Notes" section below the description.
