Can I remotely debug a subpanel VI ?

[hurban]

Dear Colleagues,

I built an application (exe) which has a few subpanels on it. I am now trying to remote-debug it.

The application runs fine on the target PC but in my remote debug session on my development PC the VIs inside the subpanels are not visible !?! So how can I then open the block diagrams of those VIs to debug into them ? In other words: it seems I can only debug the block diagram of the main VI that contains the subpanel controls, which is of very limited use to me ...

Any hints are greatly appreciated

Edit the ini file for the exe and add the entry "DebugServerWaitOnLaunch=True" This will open the front panel of the exe without running with the menu and allow you to open the block diagrams before you run the exe. Just change the entry back to false when you've finnished debugging. You might also need to re-build the exe with allow debugging options and make sure the block diagrams of all sub vis are included.

Hi Karissa,

great information! I never noticed before that I can open related VIs from the menu - this helps a lot.

Thanks a million
