replace a polymorphic VI by the currently selected type

Status: Declined

Any idea that has not received any kudos within a year after posting will be automatically declined.

Polymorphic VIs are nice but sometimes it would be helpful to have a possibility of easily replacing it by one of its instances.

 

My suggestion:

Add the entry "replace with current instance" into the "replace"-entry of the context menu if the user right-clicks to a polymorphic VI.

The obvious purpose is so that you can back-compile to older versions of LabView like 2010.

 

I am currently scrubbing a VI of DAQmx polymorphics that was developed on 2012, then 2013, now has to run on a 2010 machine.

 

thanks,
