"self reference" vi labview 7

[vlipje]

I'm searching in Labview 7.1 for a "this vi" reference node but can't find it. I know that it is possible to create one, i once did it. In higher versions of Labview it is available from the palettes. Do you know a solution for Labview 7.1?

Hi vlipje,

you don´t need it. You can right click on the property node and select "Select class -> VI Server -> VI -> VI". This should also work.

To get the reference to the current VI:

File I/O >> File Constants >> Current VI Path wired to Application Control >> Open VI Reference. This reference can be passed to a subVI over a VI Refnum control.

For working with the same VI the method of MikeS81 is prefered.
