Selecting VI Server.Strictly Typed VIs in Class Browser crashes LabView

[Rashid]

Hi!

My LabView 8.0 Pro on WinXP crashes in the following way:

0. Opening Blank VI.
1. Placing VI ref num on the front panel.
2. Going to "Select VI Server Class -> Strictly Typed VIs -> Browse..."
3. Loading any VI (say, "myVI").
4. Then going to menu: View -> Class Browser
5. Selecting Object Library: VI Server.
6. Selecting Class: Strictly Typed VIs - "myVI" icon.

Result: LabView crashes saying that there's error and application will be closed.

Besides there's a little question:
Did I get it right that if I change myVI connector layout or pins it's not refreshed in my
VI ref num and I have to load VI again (see step 2)?

Thanks in advance for any help.
Rashid.

Hello,

I have reproduced this, but I think the menu navigation you indicated in step 2 has a mistake.  I reproduce it with the following steps, and have filed a corrective action request to R&D on the matter:

0. Open a Blank VI.
1. Place a VI Refnum on the front panel.
2. Right-click on the VI Refnum and choose: Select VI Server Class -> Browse...
3. Select any VI (say MyVI.vi).

4. In LabVIEW click: View -> Class Browser
5. Select Object Library: VI Server.
6. Select Class: Strictly Typed VIs -> MyVI.vi connector pane icon.

Sorry for any inconvenience - the problem should be addressed in a future version of LabVIEW.

For your question, "Did I get it right that if I change myVI connector layout or pins it's not refreshed in my VI ref num and I have to load VI again (see step 2)?" - yes, I see the same behavior - you should save the VI and then select it again in the VI Refnum.

Best Regards,

Thanks, JLS!

I meant exactly what you wrote. Sorry, for not clear statement about step 2.
