LabWindows/CVI Idea Exchange

This is sort of a slight extension of the valuable suggestion by vix (Go to Next/Previ​ous function in source files😞

Right now, in the CVI IDE it is possible to have a function tree of all library functions - for larger projects it might be useful to also have a function browser for all the functions in the current project, thus not only permitting to jump to the next or previous function, as suggested by vix, but also to more easily return to a frequently used function by one mouse click on the function name in the function browser.

Functions could be grouped by file name (typically there is more than one source file in a project), or alphabetically...

I would like to suggest a function tree view in CVI.  I feel this is sorely missing.  Many times, I want to jump right to a function, but I don't remember where it is.  In a single C file with 1,000+ lines, this can be very aggravating.

For this reason, I tend to use Notepad++ for the heavy lifting, along with the Source Cookifier plugin.  See attached screenshot of that plugin.

There are options in the plugin to enable certain features, such as the global and local variables in addition to the function names.  When you are inside a function in the souce editor, the tree updates with a selection to show that you are inside that function.  This is very helpful with functions that have more lines than available veritcal screen space.  This way, I don't have to scroll up to see what function I'm looking at.  I simply look at the tree with a glance and I know.
