LabWindows/CVI Idea Exchange

I'm used to do some "object-like" coding in C, like using function pointers in structures to behave like method in classes.

Unfontunately, the code completion is not working as I would expect: the function is not recognized when it comes from a structure, but in cases where the field of the structure has the same name as an existing function the code completion uses the function (which may be misleading)

I have some other complaints about arrays in structure but I have no precise example to give.

Here in my company we use SVN as versioning tool for CVI projects.

It is working fine enough. However, when users add files to the project, the .prj file is strongly modified.

Even if the lots of changes are quite useless, it may be more usefull if the changes would be minimal.

The worst case is when 2 users are comitting changes to the project file at the "same time", it finally ends with some conflicts.

So, please consider minimal changes to the project file for simple changes in the project (my secret wish is to, at least, keep the .prj file as text...)

When developing a process mimic, it is very helpful to have lines and arrows linking the controls, to make it easier to visualise the process flow. A simple example would be to have a line or an arrow from the control that sets a motor's voltage to the control that shows the measured motor speed. Obviously any real-world example would be much more complicated than this.

If there is already a way of doing this, then my request is to make it much more clear in the help system. My searches yielded nothing beyond making a bitmap in another tool, putting controls on top and controlling the Z-plane to get what I want.
