JKISoftware / JKI-State-Machine-Editor

The JKI State Machine Editor is a tool to make it easy for developers to use the JKI State Machine. It makes common tasks extremely easy to perform and exposes the user to more “advanced” (non-obvious) JKI SM features (because they are first-class features of the Helper), as well as JKI SM best practices (since the helper can enforce them: left-justification of strings, avoiding chaining states, etc.).

After find, window focus still remains in tree window. #32

Closed digiajay closed 7 years ago

digiajay commented 7 years ago

After searching for a state in state-machine, once the search result pops up in the new small window, change the focus to new small window immediately. So that, I can look at the results immediately using Ctrl+G. My usual workflow in LabVIEW find goes like this

  1. Ctrl+F on tree window to get the search results.
  2. Ctrl+G to start looking at the results one by one.

Else every-time after I do Ctrl+F, I need to go and focus the search result window and press the Ctrl+G.

@digiajay I've tried to fix this through a variety of means, but LabVIEW is acting strange in this regard and I can't seem to find a way to give the Find Callers window the key focus it requires in order to make this work. I've also noticed that it intermittently works. I agree that your use case is valid -- I want this to work, too.

I think I was able to fix this (although mights still be intermittent). The solution seems to be to not set VI as Floating in the VI Properties, but instead to set it to Floating dynamically when the VI opens its FP.
