Application.Restart Method

[Matt_Dennie]

I am trying to find a clean way to restart LabVIEW after modifying LabVIEW options manually.

There is a LabVIEW Application.Restart method, but calling it always leads to a prompt cautioning that running VIs (the VI calling the Restart method is running).

Is there a clean way to call this method without getting the dialog?

Build it into an application?

what do you mean application restart?

is there such a method?

I would love to hear about it.

I been wanting to restart my labview program automattically but i just dont know how to do it.

when i end the program, i would click on the RUN ARROW to start again. I want to automate that part though.

I just tried it.  It didn't work.

If the method is exportable, you can build an executable which will connect to LV using VI server and call the method. If you want to save some time, look through the OpenG VIs on sourceforge. There should be an old package there which adds a File>>Restart menu item, which I assume should still work with modern LV versions.

Thanks for all the comment!

The OpenG tools require a lot of complication, as well as updating from LV6 and installing the VIPM.  The restart method seems much more straightforward so I am hoping to find a solution using it.
