start vi in llb?

[Christoph_Klein]

Hi!

As You are probably aware there is the possibility to start a vi
under fabulous WIN98 😉 (and others) by placing a link to it on the
desktop and simply clicking on it. If labview is installed properly
this starts Labview.exe and the vi in question automatically.

Now, what do I do to start a VI which is "hidden" in a LLB file?
Is there any special way to spell out the path in the *.lnk file
or do I have to use a workaround like calling the VI from out of an
other VI which would seem silly in a way?

Thank You!

Christoph

you just call the vi in the llb from with a simple vi created for the
windows lnk file

You must declare the VI in question as a 'top level VI' (by using the
File-->Edit VI Library... menu).
If you have more than one top level VI in the .llb, they are all loaded
and opened.
