Hi All,

I accidentally posted this question in the special interest forum by mistake so sorry for the duplicate post but i thought it might never get read over there.

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a way to search the vi hierachy for breakpoints programmatically?  Why you may ask?

I have a piece of code that takes approximately 10 Hours to run.  In order to use my time wisely i usually run the test overnight then review the results in the morning, modify code then re-run overnight.  However i came in this morning to notice i had left a breakpoint in my code about an hour into the test.  So what i would like to be able to do is search the code for breakpoints first and warn me before i go home if i have left any in there!

Thanks in advance

Although this is still manual, you can search for breakpoints.

Hi Stradis,

Thanks for the reply, I have been using that method however it has one flaw, My Memory! which isnt the greatest at the best of times, especially not at the end of the day.

What version of LV are you using?

Hi Stradis,

I am using Version 8.2  I have used the Breakpoints from under the operate menu untill now.  I have looked through the most likely pallettes but can not find anything, however i was wondering if there was a property / method or even a n API i could use.  Otherwise i will just have to put a large post it on my Monitor or something! he he.  Even that probably would not jump start my head.

I thought I might have been onto something.
See C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\project\_RemoveBreakpoints
But it wants to be launched from a menu and do not have the time to expermiment and try to work around it

Cheers Stradis,

I will have a look into it and let you know how i get on.

This has to be done programatically?

If so check LAVA >>> Rusty Nails for scripting.

I beleive I saw breakpoints someplace I was not supposed to be looking.

What's wrong with using the standard menu and just remove them all before running? (this is 8.2)
