Show more data when looking at non-editable VIs

Status: New

When you're looking at the front panel of non-editable VIs, such as VIs in PPLs, many options aren't available. Some of these are still applicable, and would be really useful.

 

Example 1: If I want to go look at a class definition, normally I could right-click on the class in a front panel and then choose "Show Class Library".  However, it isn't available if the VI is locked. My (less-than-ideal) workaround is to "Copy Data", drop the class on a new block diagram, and then I have access to all the normal menu options.

Example 2: The connector pane isn't visible. I often want to look at what is wired where on the connector pane, or to check if inputs are dynamic, but this info isn't visible.
