New Feature: Find All Instances When Running

[Christina_R]

In LabVIEW 2023 Q3, you can right-click on a subVI on the diagram, or the icon of a VI (in the top-right corner of the VI window) and use the "Find All Instances" command even when the VI is running. In earlier versions, this command was only available for VIs in edit mode.

Known Issue(s)

• Find All Instances on non-running clones isn't finding the original reentrant VI (reported by user tst) - Bug 2370962 [Fixed in LabVIEW 2023 Q3 release]

[tst]

Does this also work for non-running reentrant clones? In previous versions they also don't support it and you have to change to edit mode to get the original VI.

I apologize; I'm not entirely sure what use case you're describing here. Can you please try the Beta and let me know if it does what you expect?

If you run a.vi which calls a reentrant b.vi and then stop a.vi and double click the subVI, the FP of the clone will open (in run mode. Note the lack of the grid on the FP). In previous versions you couldn't right click the icon to find the callers. In the beta I see that you can, but it searches for instances of the clone, which doesn't actually help (and it doesn't even find anything). It should search for all instances of the original reentrant VI (2 in the example below).

Should be an easy fix. Thanks for pointing that out.
