Once installed, when you open a VI from a project window, the Diagram will open in the foreground instead of the Front Panel.
Description
Most of the time, when I open a VI form a project, I want to modify the code more than modify the UI because most of the VIs are subVIs. Then that is a (tiny) waist of time to switch from the front panel to the diagram (almost) everytime. So I decided to create a project provider which "overrides" the action of opening a VI so that the diagram appears in the foreground instead of the front panel.
Requirements
- LabVIEW 2013 (or compatible).
Steps to Implement or Execute Code
1. Install the package using VIPM.
or
Download the .zip files, unzipped and read the readme files.
2. Restart LabVIEW.
Additional Information or References
It is expected that the diagram appears in the foreground when opening an existing VI from a LabVIEW project
It is expected that the front panel appears in the foreground when creating a new VI from a LabVIEW project
It is not implemented so that it works when opening a VI from Windows Explorer (not doable from a project provider)
It has been rapidely tested with LV13 and LV14 (32bits) on Windows 7
This piece of code is provide As Is.
