Where is Menu Launch : Application in LV 2009?

[awang_synovus]

I want to get to the app instance for Tool's Menu VIs (its name is NI.LV.Dialog). In LV 2013, the property node is App.Menu LaunchApp. However, I cant find it in LV 2009. Does anyone know where it is or what is the workaround?

I tried to revert a LV 2013 VI that contains this property node back to LV 2009. However, it generates an error 42 (generic error).

You don't see the property in 2009 because it was defined as private. As you can see, you can save back and use it.

It returns an error 42 presumably because you're running the VI yourself instead of launching it from a menu. If you put it in a VI which is launched from a menu it should work properly. You can see one such example in the Code Capture Tool, which is launched from the Tools menu and uses this to get a reference to the VI you opened it from.
