reference an vi built into an executable

[richjoh]

Hi,

Is is possible to reference a vi that is built into an executable? I need to apply a "bring to front panel" property node to this vi.

Thanks ahead of time

If you want to open the VI reference from the same running executable, wire the VI name to the Open VI Reference node. You don't need the full path since the application internal library is searched for a VI with that name. The VI must be built with the option to save its front panel.

Excellent, your guidance worked OK.

Now, is there a property node that will bring my (minimized) vi out of the windows toolbar to "restore" or "maximize" setting?

I know this is possible with a windows call, api or active x.

Thanks ahead of time.

Not a property node but an invoke node. The Open FP VI method has inputs to activate the window and select its state (standard, maximized, minimized, etc)
