Dragging and Dropping in LabVIEW

To enable users of a VI to drag and drop data between controls while the VI is running, you must configure the controls to allow drag-and-drop behavior. You can enable dragging and dropping between controls in the following ways:

  • Between text-based controls: Use the shortcut menu.
  • From the operating system to path controls: Use the shortcut menu.
  • Between any types of controls: Programmatically configure drag-and-drop events.
