Case Selector is a plugin for the JKI Right-Click Framework for LabVIEW

Introduction

I make State Machines with many, many states; perhaps you do, too.  I don't like scrolling through long lists of states and have wanted to have a scroll bar on the drop-down list.  This plug-in launches a new panel with a Tree control (one that has a scroll bar) containing each of the Case names.  Check out the features...

Features

• Select a case in the CaseSelect window and it comes to the front in your Block Diagram
• JKI State Machine states are indented in the Tree control
• CaseSelect window floats and can be resized
• Open multiple CaseSelect windows at the same time to work with more than one Case Structure
• Select a case with the mouse or navigate the Tree using arrow keys
• Insert & delete states with Insert/Delete keys or context menu (Insert suggests new name based on section header)
• Reorder cases with drag/drop
• Ctrl+drag/drop to duplicate a case (suggests new name based on section header)
• Collapse/expand all tree elements with context menu
• Sort cases alphabetically (preserving the section headers of a JKI State Machine)
