Show current function name during development.

Is it possible to show the name of the function in which I am at the moment?

In VB6 and Visual Studio the function name is shown on top (see attachment).

Inside long functions this functionality avoid much scrolling.

you could make use of the macros __FUNCTION__ (and also __LINE__ and __FILE__)

In this case I have the function name during run.

But I want to see the function name during editing code.

 

On some of my projects I have very long functions with nearly similar buildup. At the moment I search some instrument and have to move to the top of the function to check in which function I am.

Ah, in this case I can not assist further: as a workaround you might consider using tagging your function name and then choose goto next/previous tag (Ctrl+F2/F2)

This is a really useful feature that unfortunately is not available in CVI.

Some months ago I posted a product suggestion asking for its implementation.

 

You can give a kudo to the idea if you think is useful too.
