How to detect inside a vi, if the vi was called as a application or by ActiveX?

[pawel]

Hello All

My vi needs to behave differently in situations where it was called as an ActiveX server or as it was executed as a standard application.

So inside a vi I need to detect what is the current execution mode.

Can anybody tell me where I can find this information?

Thanks in advance

I don't think you really can do that. What you could do however, is
adding an extra optional boolean input parameter which you have to set
in either the case of Active X or Application, depending of what you
prefer. Then have a wrapper VI for Active X and maybe another one for
non-Active X to call the real VI from.

Document the VI name for Active X calls in your Active X interface
description and use the other one in your LabVIEW apps.

Hello Rolf

I think you are right. I wanted to avoid having two different application with, but I guess it is not a good solution.
