Switch To Last Visited Case In a Case Structure

Status: New

Hi All,

 

I had posted this same idea in another post but it didn't have enough clarity and was mostly misleading the forum members. I was not able to edit it that I had to post this in a new thread here. 

 

The Idea

I felt that it would be good to have an option to switch to the last visited case in a case structure with numerous cases when going through the cases for debugging or understanding a code. It often happens that I have to scroll through the list of cases to get to a case and then may be I'll have to check something in the top most case. Again if I have to check the last visited case, I have to again scroll all the way down to the case, which becomes a little tedious. Instead, it would have been good if we had some kind of option to switch to the last visited cases sequentially (in a right click menu of the case structure or some keyboard shortcut after selecting the case structure). 

 

I'm sorry if someone has already posted this in the idea exchange forum. I tried to search it but couldn't find any such posts.


Regards,
Nitz

I would recommend to have the "Forward' and "Backward" buttons similar to TestStand. (These can ignore the movements due to scrolling, and can monitor only switching between cases and events)

Buttons like this would be immensely helpful for big projects.

 

Thanks,

The same thing can be helpful in all structures applicable.
