Top level vi or subvi?

[stoeckel]

Hi,

that's probably a question that has been asked a thousand times already but nevertheless I haven't found an answer in the forum yet.

In the code of a vi I need to know whether the vi was started manually as a toplevel vi or whether it was loaded as a subvi or dynamically as a plugin. I need this information to build a path dependent on the run-type of the vi. Where do I get this information from?

Thanks,

Peter

Do you know "call chain.vi"?

try it and give me some news.

Jorge,

thank you. Yes, I already knew the vi "call chain". However, I thought there would be something more elegant. Right now I don't have the time to penetrate the problem in depth. Maybe I'll come back to it later.

Hi there.

Try placing af prperty node with class: Vi Server.VI and use the Execution.State property.....

It will tell wether the VI is called from another, or its the top level.
