I know you can use the call chain to find the caller of the current VI (or it's caller's caller, etc.). But what if you want to know the caller of a VI that is not in your call chain? We have a utility for centering VI's on their calling window (a feature that I think LV should support natively, btw), which works fine for cases where I am effectively saying: "Center this VI's window on it's caller", or even "Center a VI within this call chain on it's caller" But what if I want to say:"Center that other VI over there on it's caller"? I see that there is a VI.Callers property, but that doesn't seem to work for reentrant VIs. (It seems to return all callers of the template VI, rather than on the specific clone instance) Does anybody know of a way to get the caller (or full call chain) of an arbitrary VI reference?

...and more over:

Suppose X is set to "Inline SubVI with calling VI"...Then you get the Caller of the Caller of X when asking for the Caller of X...
