Find Active Library

[paul_a_cardinale]

When a VI's window is active, and you select an item from the tools menu, the VI that runs the tool can use this to get to the active VI:

However if a library window is active when a tool is called, "Application:Menu Launch:VI" returns "_ProjectWindow2".

Is there a way to get a reference to the library from that?

Nice, I did not know each library window belonged to its own temporary project!

This is weird because the library window title still indicates the actual project and target names:

My guess is that LabVIEW needs to do that in order to present the library in its own tree.
