Quick Drop Enthusiasts

Description

This quick drop functionality will allow you to place in the diagram a specific method from a class (or a library).

The methods visible for selection depend on the selection you have made in the vi where you activated the quick drop.

The selections that can be made are:

• Class wires
• Class methods (vi)
• no selection (scope of the vi itself)

So if you for example select a class wire, only the methods of the type of the wire are shown. This also includes the methods of the base classes.

These methods are ordered by scope.

A double click on the method will place the vi in the diagram at the location of the selection.

A method replace is also available. This can be done by selecting the method vi you want to replace, press the ctrl-space and then the quick drop shortcut you assigned while pressing the shift key.

Installation

I hope you'll enjoy this tool as much as I do. It will certainly increase your efficiency if you frequently use classes in your applications.
