diagram disable to allow for include or exclude more easily

[GregFreeman]

The diagram disable structure is great for commenting out code, especially during testing when maybe all parts are not functioning. However, I wish as I expanded and contracted it AFTER IT HAS BEEN PLACED ONCE that it would enclose the code already in place. Because it doesn't, I end up removing and redrawing the structure to include and exclude what I want as things change. Please see picture below for what I am proposing.

I think this could apply to all structures: the option to have stucture "eats" code as you expand them.

Forget to put that Build Array inside the loop? Just the expand the loop. Need to bring that unbundle outside the case structure? Shrink the structure. LabVIEW takes care of reconnecting the wires as best it can.

LV could provide a little 50% transparent preview of what it will show you what you're adding/removing and how LV will connect the nodes.
