Get the dependency paths

[g_sures]

Hi all, I am trying to read all the dependency path of a particular VI. I have option to get the name. Is there any possibility to get the entire path it in LabVIEW 8.6?

Thanks,

There are several methods to accomplish this.  The best depends on what your going to do with this path.

Is the VI in question in memory?

If not, is the path consistent with another VI that is in memory?  If not, do you need to search for it?  

Are you trying to dynamically load/run it?

Planning to read all the dependencies just with the help of a single VI Reference. Nothing will be there in memory.

well you will need a place to start.  Is it possible to prompt for the top level vi path or is it already known?

Once you open a reference to the VI, you can use the method "Get VI Dependencies".  There are a series of filters that you can use to to par down the output if desired.

Yes. This is available in LV 2010. But in 8.6? Is there any way to find this?

Since I do not have 8.6 on my current machine, I cannot be 100% sure, but the VI did save as 8.6, attached.

It reopens it both 2009 and 2010 ok.  So hopefully it will open for you.

Can't you see what you need in the project window?  You can even see all the paths in the items window if you right-click the top-level project and select View>Full Paths.

I tried it. But its broken. I am planning to find it programatically.

Is there any way?
