file path self check during generate EXE application

[快乐创新]

It’s amazing to send some questions about programing for labview. Recently, I use labview to develop an application which includes some file I/O function such as creating path to save some data. and I use subVI’s path cite to indicate new path for saving data. But unfortunately，I fund that it’s seriously problem after generate exe application and running。

Absolutely. It’s unavailable to save data. So I have to using top VI path to generate new path and solve this problem, during this time. I have an inspire to share with you during generating exe application using labview which has application self check security as show in next table.

Check Path	Determining whether it’s security or unavailable after produce exe application when running
Auto change scroll position in table controller	If user set table controller number of page for displaying. it can automatically adjust scroll position in table controller when new page data incoming.

1. You can use the relative paths inside of the EXE in order to open references to VIs inside of the executable.  So that is a valid use.  In your case, you really should be using Application Directory instead of Current VI's Path.

2. You can programmatically set the scroll position using a property node.

Yes. I agree with crossrulz. Use the "Application Directory" function instead.

Also it 's use for subVI's directory without gaving top vi path?

Use the Application Directory VI to obtain path information that is valid when running in both the IDE and in an EXE

No. For things internal to the EXE, continue to use Current VI's Path.
