Wish list for new properties/methods

I wish we could change the condition parameters in conditional disable structures, and the case parameters for case structures.

Not really . If I would work at NI and can't get something figured out I would go across the hallway and ask one of the LabVIEW developers about it. And if I'm on the LabVIEW development team itself I would simply dig in the source code to find why something (doesn't) work the way it does.

There's already a Make Selection method, which does exactly that. When you're trying to find something like this, I suggest trying to search both the help file and the property browser for any term you can think of which would be relevant.

The Conditions property of the disable structure and FrameNames property of the case selector allow you to do this.

Yep... that's basically how we're able to get away with sub-par documentation for our internal features.

I'm a really big fan of the discussion going on in this particular thread... so much that I'd like to see the same kind of feedback for our documentation. If you have some comments or opinions, please post them to Wish list for Scripting Documentation.

Thanks for all your help! Your feedback is definitely being considered as we look towards the future of Scripting.

All properties and methods relevant to the event structure (it looks like currently none are exposed), such as:

  • Event frame data.
  • Register for event method for a particular frame.
  • Adding the dynamic event primitives to the New VI Object list.

etc.

I wish I could add to the revision history.

And hopefully we can get this one specifically.

Frame Names for Event Structure frames like the FrameNames for Case Structures.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

I wish I could add scale to a graph, at edit time AND at run time.

I wish I could add cursor to a graph, at edit time AND at run time.


We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.

You can add cursors to the graph at run-time (and you don't need scripting to do it ).  Read the Cursor List property of the graph/chart, add an element, then write it back.  Not the most intuitive method, but it works.
