Information about loading during start of an application

[andrej]

Hi,

I have an application that takes about 20 s to load at startup. When Labview is loading it has information on startup window which components are loading (e.g. Loading ... this component).

I was wondering how can I do that in my application? Where do I get the information about which component is loading currently?

Thanks,

andrej

Search the forums for threads about splash screen VI's.  Basically a small VI that opens first, and can provide the status of the other components of your application as it loads them.  Once you have loaded the full application and begun to run it, then you close the splash screen VI.

I have a splash screen and it works as it should. I just want to add an information about status of the other components and VIs, but I do not know how to get this information. I would like to implement something like loading dialog box when you open a VI, where it says which VI is loading currently. How can I get the information about which VI is loading currently?

Hi andrej

You should be able to monitor which VIs are loaded into memory with the property node I show below:

Is this what you needed?

I could use that and every few ms checked which VIs are new.

But I am more looking for the solution that is similar to the loading popup window in LV (see attached image).

I cannot this of a better solution than the one presented in this link. 

Maybe someone will have more experience with such a specific implementation. I can also recommend experimenting with methods for application.

Good luck, Piotr
