Print Options (Not printing in grayscale) in Executables

Status: Declined
Functionality already exists in LabVIEW. Implemented this functionality past what can be done already wouldn't be supported in the run-time environment.

Based on customer use, there was a "print options" available in Executables back in LabVIEW 7.1, but that is no longer available in 2010.

 

This feature is available in a VI as shown here:

In executables, there is not a Tools>>Options to select Printing features such as not printing in grayscale.  Can this feature be added back into the Application Builder?

Because generally modifying options in a built applications is not the typical use case, Tools>>Options is not shipped as part of the run time engine. There is an option when building applications to include a custom ini file which can include the preconfigured options required for the applications. Also, there could be a user developed option (button for example) which will, in the code, toggle the Application property that controls Color/Greyscale printing. I don't see LabVIEW shipping a menu option for configuring options in an executable.
