How to get path of a VI used in LV project?

[jaime_c]

Did anyone actually answer the simple question "How can I get the path of a VI used in LabVIEW project?"

Seems like it you should be able to do it from any decent coding environment without running code.

[jaime_c]

In the Items view of your project, highlight the vi, right-click, and select Show in Files View.

Or from in the VI.  Go to File, VI properties, and it is listed in the "General" section.

In the project explorer open the menu entry "Project" and click "Show Item Paths".

If I have a VI open in a project, I usually press Ctrl+Shift+E (to get the VI highlighted as described before in the Project View) then Ctrl+E to switch to File View from Item View.

Ctrl+E toggles between these two views, usually Item View is more useful except when checking paths/layout on disk.

Or CTRL+I from a VI to see the properties of the VI.

Open the Project.  You should see a list of all the VIs, right?  In the Menu Bar, click on "Project", and check "Show Item Paths".  A column will appear showing the path of all of the VIs (and controls, and other things) in your Project.  [I'm assuming you are asking how to find the file paths while programming, not while running the code.  You can also find the path to the VI at run time using a Property Node, "VI Path" ...].
