Insane object at BDHP+256D8 in ".vi" {graphics}(0X80):wire segment(wire)

Hi John,

Can you provide more details on this?  (Object Browser)...  And how you solved the insane object. 

Thanks,

JLV

The object browser is not really a released feature of LabVIEW.  It is a LabVIEW developer tool.  It shows the objects that LabVIEW presently has loaded.  The reason that it is useful for finding insane objects is that they show in their error messages where to look.  If you use that information, you can locate the insane part, remove it and replace it with a new one.

The use of this entirely undocumented, unreleased feature is not recommended by NI.

Hope that this helps,
Bob Young

Thanks Bob.

Understood...  😉

I'll keep it in mind next time it happens..  which is hopefully never..

Very nice little tool!  Wish I'd known about it years ago!

I've been able to induce insane errors in 7.1 by nested groupings of front panel objects.  It didn't happen too often, since I stopped nesting them once problems started occurring!

This is an old thread, but maybe this will help someone else.  

I tried the directions to get into the Heap Peek, but I couldn't get it to work until I found an explanation at http://labviewwiki.org/Insane_Objects, which said to press CTRL+SHIFT+D+H all at once instead of "Press CTRL+SHFT+d, then press CTRL+SHFT+h" in the linked post. 

I'm using 2009, so maybe that's it.

Does anyone know if it is still possible to access the Object Browser in the latest versions of LabVIEW?

I'm using LabVIEW 2023 Q3 64-bit on Windows 11. I applied the "LVdebugkeys=True" key in the ini file, restarted LabVIEW, then pressed CTRL+SHFT+D then CTRL+SHFT+H multiple times, sometimes releasing CTRL+SHIFT in between, sometimes not. Also tried CTRL+SHIFT+D+H all at once. None of this popped up the Object Browser window.

Even though it doesn't bring up the window, LabVIEW seems to be doing something, as it becomes busy for a few seconds. When it stops being busy a "dirty dot" appears in the VI title bar, indicating that a change was detected.

The same question was posted in this thread.

I can confirm it works on LV23Q3 WIN11 by holding CTRL+SHIFT and then hitting D and then hitting H while still holding CTRL+SHIFT. But the insane objects was not in the list.

Thanks. I can confirm that the Object Browser window works for me too.

The reason why it wasn't working for me was: I had set Ctrl + Shift + D as a custom keyboard shortcut for the Edit >> Make Current Values Default action. I had done so by going to Tools >> Options >> Menu Shortcuts.

The Object Browser window works when removing this custom keyboard shortcut assignment.
