We're all familiar with how fast programming in LabVIEW can be when using the right click menu to quickly access the associated palettes of the function we've right clicked over. Below, we can see that right clicking on the DAQmx Create Virtual Channels VI gives us direct access to the DAQmx - Data Acquisition palette. This is a lot faster than manually navigating to the Functions Palette to get the same result.
However, nothing similar exists for when programming in LabVIEW Object Oriented Programming (LVOOP). Development for LVOOP programmers would speed up dramatically if they didn't have to switch back and forth between their VI and the project window when making use of VIs from their class library.
The idea is shown below. On the left, we have the current Right Click context menu available in LabVIEW. On the right, the suggestion; the programmer is able to search through all of the VIs that are accessible to the class without having to scroll through the Project Window.
