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.
