execution only if it was the active window at the time execution was suspended. If a
LabWindows/CVI window, such as a Source window, was active at the time execution was
suspended, LabWindows/CVI does not reactivate a window.

For instance, if you suspend execution by selecting the Break Execution option from the
Run menu in a Source window, LabWindows/CVI does not reactivate a window when you
resume execution.

New Print Dialog Box

For more information on printing graphics and text on Windows using the reorganized Print
dialog box, refer to the

Revised Print Dialog Boxes on Windows

section in the

Changes to the

User Interface Library

section later in this document.

New Options for Source File Printing

New options for printing source files include adding the date, time, and filename at the top of
each page, adding page numbering, and choosing various text style options. The text style
options apply to Windows platforms only. The new options on the dialog box correspond to
the new text printing attributes in the User Interface Library. Refer to the

Application of

Attributes to Text Printing

and

New Print Attributes

sections in the

Changes to the User

Interface Library

section later in this document.

Edit Menu

The Find and Replace commands of the Edit menu of the Function Tree Editor window and
the Function Panel Editor window open dialog boxes similar to the Find and Replace dialog
boxes in the Source window, which allow you to search and replace text in the entire function
panel (

.fp

).

Code Menu

In certain cases, the Select Attribute Constant command in the Code menu replaces the
Select UIR Constant command. This occurs in panels for functions that set or get attribute
values. The User Interface Library, the VISA Library, and IVI drivers include such functions,
for example,

GetCtrlAttribute

,

SetCtrlAttribute

,

GetPanelAttribute

, and

SetPanelAttribute

in the User Interface Library. The panels for these functions each

contain an Attribute ring control and a corresponding Value input control. When you use
either of these two controls, the Select Attribute Constant command appears in the Code
menu. The action of the command differs based on whether you use the Attribute or
Value control.

New Tools Menu

This section describes the commands in the Tools menu of the Project, Source, Function
Panel, Function Tree Editor, and Function Panel Editor windows.
