text file in llb

[joshuatree]

  Is there any way to put a .ini or other text based file in an llb.  I'm trying to distribute code using an llb as a "plugin".  i'd like to have the plugin code be able to save and access default values between runs using an ini file hidden away in the llb.

 any ideas on how else to do this?

thanks

Unfortunately you can't save non-LabVIEW files in llb. If you do no like ini files, you can use registry for saving values between runs.

Thanks for the confirmation Andrey.

I've got enough headaches having to redesign my deployment strategy with Windows 7 and Vista becoming the standards, without adding registry entries to the mix.

I think i'll learn how to create and deploy dll's or lvlib's.  I was under a delivery deadline and developed a plug-in using an llb.  I'd like to be able to save session data and hide it from the user in my next version.
