LabVIEW Idea Exchange
In LabVIEW we can dynamically run a VI in a few ways:
a) If it's not running Top Level VI or if the VI re-entrant with the Run method.
b) Already running as sub VI, with Call By Reference.
c) Make a new VI and drop the (running) sub VI on the diagram.
Downside of a) is we can't always make sub VI's re-entrant, but still want to call it by reference. Downside of b) is we need to know the strict type (connector pane). Downside of c) is we might end up with a lot of VI's just to function as Top Level VI for the sub VI's and it doesn't work in executables.
I like to propose a method, so we can dynamically call a sub VI without knowing the strict type.
Using it, we enable LV to dynamically run sub VI's while setting\getting it's parameters by name.
For sub VI's (already running) this method will act as Top Level VI. For Top Level VI's it will fail unless it's idle.
(Please ignore my first confusing attempt)
