Is there any way of find shared variables, where they are used in the project?

[Andras Ferencz]

Hi,

It would be nice to find all instances for shared variables in a project or in a hierarchy like finding globals.

Is there any trick or plan to implement this?

Hi Andras!

Gennerally in LabVIEW there is no way to find all instances of an Shared Vatialbe. But i have a little tool from a coullege for you, wich searches a LV Project for all instances of the Shared Variable.

How to use this tool:
-Open the ListSVMainVI.vi from the llb
-Select the Project wich countains the vi's and the variable you want search for
-Select the Main VI in the Main VI Paths (use the Array index 0), if there are more MainVI in your Project like it is in a RT Project where you normaly have a host and a target main vi, you must sellect all of them to that Array.
-run the VI this may take a while now you can see all of your instances of the Variables in the list at the right side, doubleklicking it opens the VI and shows the Shared Variable to you.

this toll is only experimential, so i can't do anything if it doesn't work correktly.

Best Regards
Tobias Lange

Hi!

The Tool which i had atachted to the last Post wasn't the least correct working Version, try this one.

I have to admit this is some interesting code.

Any chance of getting a version that will build?

Hello Tobias,

I've downloaded and ran the vi you sent, but no shared variables were detected.

What could I be doing wrong?

Thank you.
