Comment out some sections of Labview programs during debuging

[Shurman]

In other programming such as VC or VB, we can always comment out some sections of our program so that the commented section are not executed during debuging. Is there any way to comment out some sections of Labview program during debugging?

You can use a case structure to surround the section of the program you do not want to execute and then wire a false constant into the input so the case will never execute.

Just remember to encapsulate the code within the "TRUE" case, otherwise it will execute it in the "FALSE" case..

- just in case -

Also remember that doing this will only work if the code you "commenting" out must be executable. A broken run arrow will still be there after you put it in the Case Structure. If you are trying to comment out some broken code, you're out of luck, at least now.

Thank you Ed,

This was a very important item to point out.

Add to that;

Bad dll calls that fail durring the load,
Or
An Event structure configure to lock FP until...

The attached illustrates this behaviour.

Hit "Stop" before "Stop2" and the code never stops!

Oh yes...

I've seen that before...
