Autohide palette upon function/control selection

[KHartley]

I find myself constantly switching between Quick Drop and palette surfing for the functions I need. Sometimes I close the palettes just because they are in the way of where I want to drop a function. But I immediately need to reopen them to find my next function.

Can there be a setting in the palette options to hide or minimize the palete once I've selected a function from the control/function palette and once I've placed the item on my front panel/block diagram it will reopen to the same palette and spot?

R-click on block diagram for a temporary palette.

R-click = Right-click, not press "R" and click.

Hey Yamaeda and Intaris,

I know about right click but and I could just pin that palette but screen space gets eaten up quickly. Depending on what palette I'm in it could take up just as much space as the entire function palette. I figured this would help from a window organziation stand point. I'm suggesting that the palette gets hidden until I place the item or I hit "esc" and go back to selection. We could also hide it when the wiring tool is in use.

Right, so you want to have a clear view of where to place the item you have just selected.  I didn't pick up on that first time around.

Sounds like something I've cursed LabVIEW on many a time in the past.

I would generalise it a bit and say that when either dragging or copying like this (regardless of the source) the menus should tempoarily go away to give me a clear view of my targets.

As an option, no harm. Kudos!
