I have edited some IE VIs. Editing VI documentation is possible now.
The modified files are here: Editing VI Documentation ...
(the files which have changed automatically are not included in the zip file)
Known limitations
- Undo and Redo leave out the documentation elements
- At least it does this consequently now
Working
- Documentation can be edited
- Cancel works
- Copy and paste by <ctrl>-c and <ctrl>-v in the documentation strings works
Proposal what to do next
- Testing!
- Does Documentation editing always work?
- Is Icon Editing still working in any case?
- Does non development installation work as described?
(I do not have any fresh installation to test this)
- Inplement Undo and Redo
- KeyDown.vi does not discard <ctrl>-z and <ctrl>-<shift>-z while a documentation text element has the focus (LabVIEW handles this itself)
- Check if one of the element has the focus
- or introduce a new enum entry in Support.Action in the Data Cluster
- Record the changes of the documentation cluster in the value change event in "lv_icon.vi"
- This is somehow done with "Add Data to History.vi" and "Replay Data from History.vi"
- I am lost here, sorry.
- Implement doc editing for type "Icon from App Method"
- in "lv_doc_edit.lvlib"
- What is an app method? I have no idea what to open.
Feel free to use and modify the code
