Using FP.GetImage in a subVI of a built executable

[DanB1983]

Hi,

I want to use the FP.GetImage invoke node to programatically generate screenshots.  See the attachement "screendump.vi" for illustration.  This works standalone, and when called from "toplevel.vi".

When "screendump.vi" is built as an executable, it works.  However, when "toplevel.vi" is built as an executable, it does not.

I suspect the problem is to do with the "This VI" reference, but I can't figure it out.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan,

in an executable the FP of subVIs is removed, when it is not needed. When there is no FP, you can't get a picture of…

- Check the settings of your subVI.

- Check the settings of the subVI in the AppBuilder.

(I thought a CLD should know this… 🙂 )

Excellent, thanks - problem solved.

You're probably right, a CLD *should* know this!
