Closing Breakpoints

[jspaarg]

Does anyone know if there is a "one-button" solution to closing all open breakpoints?

It is really irritating closing them one at a time.

Thanks

Are you talking about removing breakpoints?  Or are you talking about closing probe windows?  There's no interactive way to remove all breakpoints from a VI, although you can use the Find dialog to find them.  But who knows, maybe you will see some sort of "Remove All Breakpoints" feature in a future LabVIEW version... 😉

Thank you Darren, that was a truncated way of asking two questions.

I've been ill and my brain is not firing on all three cylinders right now.

Both, removing breakpoints and closing probe windows.

I was just fighting an array initialization problem with strings that I was parsing from a file and had 11 probes active.

One Button would have been nice.

Also, Is it possible that breakpoints magically reappear after they have been removed.

I have had about six times where I would swear I removed the breakpoint only to have it show up the next time I opened the app.

Thanks

If you save a VI with breakpoints, they will be preserved the next time you open the VI.  So make sure the breakpoints are gone before saving the VI.  Also, the breakpoint tool is pretty touchy...I've seen times where I used it to remove a breakpoint from a wire, but then accidentally clicked on the diagram with it, creating a breakpoint on the diagram.  As for breakpoints magically appearing/disappearing, I've never seen that.

The way that I think I saw it (although I can't force it to repeat):

When I modify a VI by adding a breakpoint and then close it, I get a prompt to save.

When I modify a VI by removing a breakpoint and then close it, I don't get a prompt and it closes it with the breakpoint still enabled.

Again, I can't make it happen, it just seems that is what I saw.

But then again, it could just be me trying to rationalize a mistake that I made.

One button? No.

One "Tools" menu option? Yes.

Look here.  (or maybe here)
