Hightlight Mode Programmatically

I would like to show the block diagram in highlight mode for demonstration purposes, but need to do it programmatically.  Does anybody know how to command the highlight mode to come on?  Even "default on" when the vi starts would work, and then I could close the vi instead of turning highlight mode off. 
 
Thanks

As far as I know, this cannot be done.  Is there a reason this needs to be done programmatically?

Please let me know if you have any more questions.

I think Craig is right. I don't think there's a way to do this directly. One option you do have that you can set programmatically is the Suspend when Called property of a VI. This acts somewhat like a breakpoint and suspends the VI when it gets called as a subVI. This would give you a chance to manually turn on Highlight Execution before continuing execution of the subVI. You can set the property either in the VI Properties dialog, or programmatically using a VI property node.

OK...I thought that might be the case.  Thanks for confirming this, guys.
