Forcing an asterisk *

[paul_a_cardinale]

I'm working on a tool that makes modifications to VIs.  But the nature of the modifications doesn't result in the VI getting an asterisk * (mods bit set), despite the fact that I'm opening the VIs with the options set to 5.  So I need to have my code explicitly set the VI mods.

I found this, but not enough documentation to know what I should feed it.

I could just add something to the BD, then delete it; but is there a better way to force an asterisk on a VI?

Method "Set VI Mod" has a bit of documentation:

By testing, all powers of 2 work from 2^3 to 2^30 included.
