Displaying revision information on a form (not title bar)

[Todd Curtis]

I've created an application where using the tab control. There will be no title bar, just several tabs.

I'd like to display revision information on the tabs but don't haven't found a VI to do this.

In VisualBasic I am able to display app.major + app.minor + app.revision.

Is there an equivalent way to do this in LV.

thanks,

todd

There are several property nodes that can be accessed to retrieve infos about Application and VI situation. Have a look at the attached vi.

Happy New Wire !

Hello Todd,

but be aware that (at least) some of these properties can't be accessed when you compile your application...
I had a similar problem (checking the version/revision of several measurement systems and warn the user, if
there is a new version) and solved it that way: write your revision information in the vi properties. Then run
your vi, read the rev.text and wire it to a string indicator. After running the vi make the current value of the
indicator the default value. When you compile your vi (or whole project) then you can include a check for the
execution system (development system or execution). Depending on that check you can get your data from the
vi properties or from that indicator.

Best regards,
