I have done a piece of refactoring lately that involved replacing a variant with an object. Variants being wonderful like they are, any old interface VI which would take a variant input simply casts the object input to a variant. Is there any way of searching in LabVIEW for this casting action? I'd prefer not to have to find every module that took the variant/now should take an object, if possible.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Easiest way is to open your project, open a VI that you know has the function, click on the function and hit <ctrl>+f. The find dialog should already be set to "find objects" with the function already selected. Set the dropdown to <All VIs in Application instance> and hit Find.
You can do it without selecting the function before <ctrl>+f -- you'll just need to a little bit of navigation.

Hey, good one. Silly me 😛 Thanks.

You are trying to find when the data was just simply coerced into a variant? Sorry, but there is not any simple way to do that. You will need to go through each module and find that ones that you changed.
