Template Inside the Template

[sankar06]

Hi everyone,

                How to pragmatically save a template vi which has a templates inside it. When i used save instrument method it returns below error. Is there is any methos to save unsaved changes inside a VI.

I can't try it - but I think you will have to go through the VI hierarchy to find and save any unsaved VIs working your way up to the top level VI.

Thats is my problem how to find the unsaved instance? Here i have attached test code for your reference.

Sankar,

You want to save it as a template again? Anyway you need to choose the option 0*02, if you want to open a template for editing.

No, NanthaKumar. I want to save it as a vi file not vit file. We can use x04 method for prompt user to save but my requirement is not that.

You can Get VI dependencies through invoke method and check whether there is any template file in it. If it has template file you can save those also.

I have created simple vi with single index.

It need to be done in 2 steps. From the template you create and save a new vi and then you save it as a new template. Finally you can delete the temporary vi that was created.
