QuickDrop Parse Plugin Variant

[GregFreeman]

I had this VI at one point so I could get the data coming into QD but after uninstalling and reinstalling 2009 I no longer have it. Can someone either post it for me or tell me where to grab it? Thanks.

In LabVIEW 2010, that VI is located in vi.lib\Utility\QuickDropSupport.  In LabVIEW 2009, that VI is useless because there is no data passed in to QDKS plugin VIs via the variant.

Well that explains why now that I have uninstalled 2010 it can't find it :). Thanks Darren. Any suggestions on determining if QD has been called from the FP or the BD in 2009?

In the following post on the Quick Drop Enthusiasts community group, Darin.K proposes either using (1) Windows API functions or (2) hard-coded searches in the combo box array to figure out whether you're on the FP or BD.  If you feel those approaches are too hacky, you could simply use the [Shift] modifier when you invoke the plugin to indicate if you're on the FP or BD.

Do You Need Any Additional Info Passed In To Your QDKS Plugin VI?
