A question on Quick drop

[Guruthilak]

Is it possible to make the QD not to disappear once a object is placed on the BD or FP? (something like a floating window that too resizable)

I love this QD but i dont feel like hitting CTRL+SPACE each and everytime

Even if this happened, how would you get the focus back into the QD window? Would you prefer that the QD keep the focus until you explicitly close it?

One thing which might help you is LVSpeak (do a search) which is a utility which uses the Windows speech API to allow you to operate LabVIEW by voice. One of its features is a modified version of QD which allows you to speak the name of what you want to drop, which should save some time.

tst,

I believe that the QD is intelligent to determine "the active window"  and by moving the mouse over the QD or the vi of interest will solve this out...

So you're suggesting that after you drop an object, you will move the mouse cursor back into the QD window, and this will cause it to regain focus, so you can start again?

This should probably be doable (I assume the entering triggers a Mouse Enter event even if the window doesn't have focus) and you're already using the mouse anyway. You could put an idea in the idea exchange and see if people like it.
